Paddling the I+M in Channahon

Great paddling on the I+M from the Channahon Lock south to McKinley and back. It’s a really nice section of the canal that is wide enough to make for an interesting paddle. It did feel like overkill bringing a 17 foot kayak but it worked out fine. It was a windy day but the canal is well sheltered. This would make a great fall trip too probably.
