Illinois and Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor

Pros: History, Friendly People
Cons: No Wildlife and Boring along canal.

One Word Sums this place up, Boring!!! A trail runs along the I&M Canal showing all the old locks used in the Canal. Some old recreated village next to the Canal in Lockport gives you a feeling of what it was like in the Old Days. The Staff at this old Village are friendly and happy to answer any questions you might have. Otherwise there is a musuem or two and not much else.

For a history lover this might make a nice stop but otherwise I advise you to only go if you happen to be in the immediate area.
