South west of
Chicago, IL is the Illinois and Michigan Canal. As of 1993, the bike path
started in Channahon, IL and went north east to Joliet. After that it continues
to Marseilles and LaSalle. The canal was a historic link between the Great
Lakes and the Mississippi River.

Most of the
canal is no longer in use and nature is reclaiming it.
