The North Shore Channel, constructed between 1907 and 1910, was originally built to flush sewage from the North Branch of the Chicago River into the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. Today, the Chicago Deep Tunnel handles most of the sewage. Stretching from Wilmette to the North Branch of the Chicago River in Chicago, the Channel supports fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and has become a popular rowing venue. The North Shore Channel is a walking and biking path that runs along nearly the entire length of the channel, and notable sites include the Skokie Northshore Sculpture Park and the Evanston Ecology Center.
