Hiking
Winding through Lemont Heritage Quarries is a segment of the historic Illinois and Michigan Canal. Hikers can walk along part of this iconic waterway, imagining canal boats drifting by as they take in the Quarries' lush forests and limestone cliffs. This intersection of industry and nature creates a uniquely evocative backdrop for an engaging hike along the Canal.
