About Channahon State Park
A Native American word meaning "the meeting of the waters" gave this park its name, a reference to its position next to where the Dupage, Des Plaines, and Kankakee Rivers come together. The park protects this river confluence land, preserved as a state park since 1932. Its identity is tied directly to the joining of these three waterways rather than to any single river alone.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
