A downtown trail

In the 1960s, the Illinois Department of Transportation began to dispose of portions of the I&M Canal, and the Village of Lemont acquired a segment. They recently established a 5-mile canal trail, featuring views of the canal and Des Plaines River Valley. General Fry’s landing in downtown Lemont is the trail access point and was named to commemorate the first boat that traveled on the I&M Canal when it opened in 1848.
