Last week we hiked the I & M Canal Trail from Channahon to McKinley Woods, and back, a 6.2 mile round trip. Yesterday we started at McKinley Woods and hiked to the Dresden Locks and back, a 5.5 mile trip. An interesting sidenote about McKinley Woods is that it was the site of a POW camp during WW2, something I never knew.
Here`s the starting point.
A short time later, we saw a small path leading into the woods and followed it, and came across these remains of another old building. These buildings were built in the 1930`s by the CCC.
Remains of old shelter complete with stone fireplace.
A look across the river.
