Illinois & Michigan Canal State Trail

Dogs are welcome on the Illinois & Michigan Canal State Trail in Channahon, IL. The pet-friendly trail is 96 miles in length with a varying surface of asphalt, gravel, crushed stone, and grass. Original construction of the canal began in 1823. At that time, it was used to transport goods between townships in the area. Completed in 1848, the canal was used right up until 1933, when it was converted to the recreational path that people use today. The pet-friendly route that now runs alongside the former trade path is adjacent to a number of state parks, including Channahon State Park, William G. Stratton State Park, Gebhard Woods State Park and Buffalo Rock State Park. Visit Website
