I-55 North Super 8 Motel is a great choice.
What a location this is for outdoors people. If you don’t have a problem getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Fox River, and why not camp at Lake Shokakana
Family Resort if you're here at Legion Lake. Illinois & Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor is one of the destinations close to Legion Lake that are fine to go to, and an afternoon playing golf at Wedgwood Golf Course is always
a bliss. Legion Lake is right by the Tallgrass Nature Trail.

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.... |
