SHEFFIELD — Friends of the Hennepin Canal will hold its monthly “Hike the Canal” outing on Sunday.

This month’s hike will be from Bridge 17A to Bridge 15. The hike is 4.8 miles in length and it has been named the “Water Snake.” Participants should meet at Bridge 15 at the Visitor’s Center at 1:30 p.m. where we will be shuttled to Bridge 17A to begin the hike.

The Hennepin Canal Visitor’s Center is located near Sheffield off of Route 40, just north of the Route 6/34 and 40 intersections and just south of Interstate 80 (exit 45).

The monthly hikes were developed by the Friends of the Hennepin Canal as an opportunity for everyone to get to know the canal personally by hiking it from the Illinois River to the Mississippi, including the feeder canal, in small legs. You need not be a member of the Friends to join in any of the hikes.

For more information, contact Ed Herrmann at (815) 664-2403 or Pat Stier at (815) 454-2502.
