Channahon Dam
Score4.0Low, cascading dam on the Des Plaines River inside Channahon State Park — strong foreground water flow, bankside trees and seasonal color make for intimate waterscape and landscape shots.

Best at golden hour or after rain for stronger flow; interpretive signs and local fishing add context.
