Paddlers will meet at Frederick's Grove in McKinley Woods in Channahon. They will travel the I&M Canal from McKinley Woods to Channahon State Park, according to a news release issued by the Forest District of Will County.

Then, after a short portage, kayakers will paddle down the DuPage River to McKinley Woods—Kerry Sheridan Grove—and stop for lunch. The trip will continue downstream back to the starting point, according to the district news release.
