Good place for hiking and biking. Bit away from cities, so you should bring everything with you - no concession around (at least I have not seen any). People always fishing from bridge, very often you can see huge ones near bridge posts. A lot of wildlife can be seen around - herons, snakes, frogs, birds etc.
Its a small but full of peace perfect escape site for a busy mind to relax and recharge. Its an hour drive away from Chicago Downtown. Perfect for family, kids, adult, relaxing, playing and enjoying. Dont expect fish in the river, I have seen bunch of people trying their luck for hours only to get a finger fish. Track for cycling and pedestrians, grills, benches make it a good destination.
Park has really changed over time. This park was the place where we walked to with our sack lunch for our school picnic at the end of the year. How many remember those memories?
Great views looking forward to kayaking the river more reviews to come.
Channahon state park is a quiet and restful place to enjoy nature and to go for a walk. It is clean and well maintained.
Clean park and campground. Good working fire pits. Pretty waterfall. Access to I&M canal trail.
Little bit of everything here - a little history, finishing spots, nice trail. I believe there is a dog park. And lots of parking. Very well maintained.
Beautifully kept...quiet park within village...easy access to bike/walking trails...well behaved-leashed dogs are common
Love going here with my family. Beautiful place!
Very open. Plenty of picnic tables. Has a play ground, the Forgotten Memorial is there as well!
Very beautiful plenty of parking and bathrooms
Its a great memorial to our veterans who lost the never ending battle with ptsd.
I really liked it small but a fun family hang out
Nice place to go on a walk or pic nice with your family!
Excellent place for hiking and biking
Best state park in illinois. For many reasons. Fishing camping hiking picnics.
Nice for fishing there’s a path to go biking too
Lovely park great walking trails. Very nice people in town.
Great trail and beautiful scenery
Great place to go to great walking path
A little small but pleasant place centered around a water fall and walking paths
This place is amazing for people who love the wilderness. You can bike or walk along the paths. They have grills that you can use. Its great if you just want to be outside
Dog friendly, nice trail along the I and M Canal and restrooms are open!
I ride the I&M canal quite a bit. Excellent place to park and start your ride. Also nice to just hang out and fish a bit as well.
Super beautiful campsites and views
Grills, tables, camping, fishing, and great scenery.
Nice place to camp and fish!
Takes you way back and its peaceful
I always go here and fish with my dad and i love it here
Fun park and adventurous
Beautiful hiking and birds
It is a very nice park. Too bad the state of Illinois is letting our parks deteriorate. The buildings show serious neglect
I love it there especially my pup.....she loves the trails
One of the best views in the Will County area I’ve ever seen!! Definitely recommend this nature park, if you love going for walks or fishing!
Nice shady trails!
Visited with my brother and his wife. Fishing from the bank, picnic areas. Nice spot.
Nice park next to the canal. Quiet at night for camping.
There is a playground for kids to play at. Nature trails to walk or run. A river and old canal lochs to fish out of. It is a great place for outdoor activities
Its a beautiful State Park perfect for anyone just trying to get out and take a walk on a nice day.
Awesome place
Need to groom bike trail
If youre looking for a place to go for a nice hike, this isnt it. If you want to fish and have your kids play at the park, then this is your place. It is pretty but, the trails dont lead anywhere fun.
Been going to this great State Park since 10yrs old. My own kids , Now my Grand KidsLove it.
Nice park, dont use the restroom.
Nice place....camp fish hike ride and a beautiful veterans memorial...
Hiked from JJC all the way over, only to find out that they dont have the picnic benches out yet. That kind of sucks for your lunch time turn around.
This park is an hasnt changed since I was a kid the river is bigger the parking in the nicer though
The forgotten war memorial appears to be parked behind a fence and is no longer accessible. This time of year, without rain, the water doesnt move much and smells pretty bad except for at the spillway.The campground and trails are clean.
What a great find. Travelling west to east we saw this park and am so glad we decided to check it out!
Soothing and calming, perfect place for a walk or be out with family
Nice places just too busy
Loved walking through the park.
Always enjoy the scenery here
Good park for a campout, fishing, biking and hiking. While not large or private, it is great for youth groups. But note, no flush toilets. The camp sites are mostly in a field with a few trees, not separate individual sites. Very nice for tents.
Beautiful grassy areas and a nice river when it hasnt been raining
Nice place for fishing and having a picnic
Love it here. Beautiful well cared for great for walking, running, biking, fishing and kayaking
Great I&M history
Nice environment with access to nearly 100 miles of trail on the i&m canal. Facilities do need an update though.
Its ok but is in a state of decline due to lack state funding its parks.
The campground is well maintained and the park is always very clean. Only 4 stars because the road to get in is great need of pothole repair. It has been that way for years.
Very fun!!! But... I wish everyone would help keep the place clean!
Biking heavan. Going West, rivers merge into the Illinois. Shady open parking and close bathrooms.
Great spot lovely park areas
One of the most peaceful spots ive been to ever!
Great park but flooded right now
Grandson plays baseball here. Very wholesome and family environment.
Nice place for a walk and a couple pics
We didnt get to stay long enough to do much exploring, but perhaps further exploration will prove fruitful.
Just a peaceful place very clean
Love this place !!
Nice gem in our little town - cant wait for the memorial for lost vets to be complete
Nothing like getting back to nature. The trails here are beautiful for an early morning jog, walk, fishing or grab a boat, canoe or kayak and explore the rivers.
Fun place to take kids
Great place to get outside
Its just channahon
