TAMPICO – The Friends of the Canal are holding their monthly Hike the Canal outing on Sunday, Sept. 17.
This month's hike will be from Bridge 50 to Bridge 52 on the feeder canal. The hike is 4.1 miles in length and it has been named the "Cottonwood."
They will meet at Bridge 50 on the northwest side at 1:30 p.m., where they will be shuttled to Bridge 52 to begin the hike. Directions to Bridge 50 are to take Route 40 north from Route 6 (or I80) to Route 172, then west on Route172 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 on any of the hikes and there is no fee for the hike. They ask that you dress weather appropriately.
For more information, contact Ed Herrmann at hikes@friends-hennepin-canal.org or call (815) 664-2403.
