Discover the Cal-Sag Channel, a 16-mile-long watercourse in southern Cook County, created between 1911 and 1922. Initially designed for drainage, it ingeniously reversed the flow of the Little Calumet River, redirecting sewage away from Lake Michigan. This dual-purpose canal now supports shipping activities and offers a distinctive environment for water enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
