S. Highuay 6. More than a century ago one of the principal arteries of traffic was the newly constructed Illinois-Michigan Canal, the forerunner of the present Illinois Waterway. The progress in water transportation is graphically demonstrated by a comparison of these parallel waterways. At Channahon in the center of a very attractive State Park, is one of the original locks of the old canal, restored to working condition. Its moss-covered stone walls and heavy timber gates, operated by hand, p...resent a picturesque appearance in the beautiful setting provided by the broad DuPage River which the canal crosses at this point, and the luxuriant growth of trees and bushes that line the banks of the water courses. A major engineering triumph at the time it was con- structed, the lock appears almost toy-like today by comparison with the tremendous locks and dams to be seen a little farther down the river in the controlling works of the Illinois Waterway. At Channahon, a narrow one-way road branches off south from the highway.
