Between Morris and Joliet,Illinois,lies Channahon State Park.  The name Channahon means joining of the waters and refers to the merging of the Des Plaines, Kankakee, and the DuPage Rivers to form the Illinois River.  The state park contains along segment of the Illinois and Michigan Canal where it intersects the DuPage River.  There is a dam here.  Locks 6 and 7 of the canal were restored by the CCC during the depression.  At the lock 6 site, there is a restored lock keeper’s house.  The drive is well worth the time.
