Ellyn/Chicago is a delightful site to get some rest, and unsurprisingly, all our national parks are great locations to check out and Illinois & Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor is no exception. So much entertaining stuff
in the vicinity of Lake Ellyn, completely mind-blowing. Four Lakes is a very popular ski area close at hand, and a forest close by is Churchill Woods. There are some perfect whitewater spots on Des Plaines; since you're here, you
could also have a look at striking Lambert Lake. From a rain point of view Lake Ellyn is a relatively common spot; June is when you get the most rain here, and February is the month with the least moisture.

Des Plaines
 | 13 miles away 1 PHOTO To inspect for log jams beneath the gravel pit access bridge directly east of Romeoville High School, you are allowed to drive up to, but not ACROSS the bridge, according to a security gaurd at the gravel pit. To check for log jams, I'd park BEFORE the bridge, and get out and walk across the bridge, looking over the railing. Also, there's a spot where you can walk up to the river edge. Facing east, it will be on your right, before the bridge. I'm uploading a photo dated April 12, 2002. It's a view of that bridge, taken from the water, looking southwest.... |
