Celebrate Trails Day: I&M Canal Trail Ride - Minooka, IL 2025

Description

Get outside with us to experience, share and celebrate the joy and impact of trails! Hosted annually in April, Celebrate Trails Day is an initiative of the Rails to Trails Conservancy to encourage people across the country to enjoy our nation’s – and for us, Will County’s – exceptional trails and trail systems. This year we’re showcasing the new connection from Lake Chaminwood Preserve to the I&M Canal State Trail and riding along the historic canal to the campground at McKinley Woods — Frederick’s Grove near the county’s western edge. Experienced riders only please. A bicycle and helmet are required for each participant. The ride is 14 miles roundtrip.
