The Grand Illinois Trail - Trail Section 14 - Hennepin Canal Trail to Seatonville
Page 16 of 33
The eastern end of the Hennepin Canal at Bureau Junction is where the Hennepin connects with the Illinois River. This GIT route avoids several difficult road traffic routes and instead takes you on the back roads of the hill country north of the Illinois River's great bend. Few services so plan accordingly.
