I & M CANAL NATIONAL HERITAGE CORRIDOR Channahon is fortunate to be located along the beautiful and winding I & M Canal, which is the centerpiece of the [ http://www.canalcor.org/ ] National Heritage Corridor. In the 1960s and 1970s, interest in the Canal was resurrected and the population once again saw the importance of the I & M Canal in history and as a recreational link for the present and future. The 100-mile urban cultural park was created in 1984 to preserve this Illinois landmark and to provide the public with a variety of historical, recreational, and natural resources to enjoy. This was the nation’s first national heritage corridor. In 1998, the 150th anniversary of the opening of the I & M Canal was celebrated.

& M Canal’s importance to the region, the area’s Native American heritage, the settlement of Northern Illinois, and current recreational and cultural activities offered throughout the area.

DUPAGE RIVER TRAIL & WATER TRAIL The DuPage River Trail is a bike and pedestrian trail that follows the DuPage River from the I & M Canal at Lake Chaminwood north along the West Branch to Illinois Prairie Path in Naperville and along on the East Branch to the DuPage County’s Forest Preserve’s Greene Valley Preserve in Lisle.

When completed the trail will be 29 miles long.

MCCABE INSURANCE AND REAL ESTATE GROUP

McCabe Insurance and Real Estate Group moved their office to Minooka one year ago in May 2013.

Agency owner, Chris McCabe, welcomed the move from New Lenox to Minooka as she and her key employee Maggie Hargis both live in Channahon. After having been in New Lenox for 4 years, moving her office to Minooka was like coming full circle and she felt as if she was “home�. Chris & Maggie consider themselves fortunate to be able to work so close to home and help the residents and friends in the Chanooka area.

Chris McCabe, a lifelong resident of Will County has been a Realtor since 1991. When the Real Estate market crashed in 2008 she, like many others affected by the down turn of the Real Estate market, found she had to reinvent herself. Chris decided to become an Insurance Agent and was fortunate to open her own Insurance Agency in 2009 in New Lenox. The upswing in the Real Estate market motivated Chris to upgrade her Real Estate license and open her own Real Estate office. Chris is now the Managing Broker and owner of McCabe Real Estate Group.

McCabe Insurance has a fully licensed staff and can offer you the luxury of shopping around for your Insurance with just one phone call. As an Independent Insurance Broker, McCabe Insurance has several top carriers such as Pekin, Travelers, Hartford, AAA, SafeCo, MetLife, Progressive and more. Representing several carriers allows you the ability to easily shop for the best coverage at the best price. In addition to your basic Home, Auto, Life , Commercial General Liability and Workers Comp, McCabe Insurance can help you with all of your Specialty Market coverages such as vacant properties, Professional Liability and E & O, Trucking, Restaurants, Home Owners Associations, Manufacturers, Contractors and much more. If you need it insured, McCabe Insurance has a carrier for you.

It is important to review your insurance annually. You will feel comfortable bringing your policies to McCabe Insurance for review and consultation.
