High Line Canal from DeKoevend Park

Description: This beautiful park is part of the South Suburban Park and Rec District system.  The High Line Canal loops around it on three sides providing seasonal birding opportunities along the tree-lined trail.  In November, we went North (downstream), so we’ll go South this time.   The trail is wide and flat, accessible to people at all levels of ability.  Please call or text Blaine (720-392-3421)  in advance with any special needs or concerns – he is very happy to help.

Leader(s): Blaine with Jan, Cal and/or Ilan
