Every year the towns of Henry, Lacon, and Chillicothe host a HLS Kayak + Canoe Jaunt.
This is a 16 miles paddle from start to finish along the Illinois River. Here's how it works: You'll drop your boat off in Henry, then drive to Chillicothe, park your car, and a hop on a shuttle bus which will take everyone back to the starting line in Henry. Don't be late!
It's a great day, great event, great way to experience three charming towns. With registration, each participant receives a light snack to get started, lunch along the river in Lacon, and dinner at Moontower Bar + Grill. You'll also have an amazing time on the Illinois River!
This year's jaunt is the 22nd Annual and is scheduled for Sunday, August 11, 2024.
