TAMPICO – The Friends of the Hennepin Canal will be holding their monthly Hike the Canal outing on Sunday, April 15.
This month’s hike will be from Bridge 47 to Bridge 50 on the Feeder Canal. This portion of the “Hike the Hennepin” is 4.0 miles in length and it has been named the “White Tail Deer.”
Participants will meet at Bridge 50 on the northwest side at 1:30 p.m., where they will be shuttled to Bridge 47 to begin the hike. Directions to Bridge 50: take Route 40 north from Route 6 (or I80) to Route 172, then west on Route 172 to where it crosses the feeder canal.
The monthly hikes were developed by the Friends of the Hennepin Canal as an opportunity for everyone to get to know the Canal personally by hiking it from the Illinois River to the Mississippi (including the feeder canal) in small legs.
You do not need to be a member of the Friends to join them in any of the hikes. There is no fee for the hikes. Come and join in the fun and bring a friend. They ask that you dress weather appropriately and bring bottled water for hot weather hikes.
