All the caches in this series are outside of DNR property, but can easily be reached by a bicycle, hiking, or a short walk from the car.
All the caches contain log book only. Bring your own pen.
The series of caches are of various dificulties, but are intended to introduce cachers to portion of History that is sometimes overlooked.
Most of the caches in the series can be reached by The Hennepin Canal Parkway State Park, also just called the Hennepin Canal, is an abandoned waterway in northwest Illinois, between the Mississippi River at Rock Island and the Illinois River near Hennepin. The entire canal is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Opened in 1907, the canal was soon abandoned because of railroad competition. It was resurrected in the late 20th century as a recreational waterway. Its former name was the Illinois and Mississippi Canal. The main canal length is 75.2 miles (121.0 km), and its feeder canal is 29.3 miles (47.2 km) long. The state park spans five counties (Rock Island, Bureau, Henry, Lee and Whiteside) and is 104.5 miles (168.2 km) long.
The caches are just outside the section of feeder canal which originates at the Rock River near the Rock Falls Hydro Electric Plant.
