Instagram worthy fall destination just outside Chicago

The weather hasn't been great lately but it is going to clear up in a few days. Once it does there are some great places close to Chicago for fall photography.

President and CEO of the Canal Corridor Association, Ana Koval, joined ABC 7 Chicago in the studio to tell us about the most Instagram worthy fall destination.

Koval's suggestion includes a beautiful landscape that is just over an hour south from the Chicago area.

She said families and nature lovers will enjoy the Illinois & Michigan Canal National Heritage Area as a great photo-opt destination. It is also home to the famous mule-pulled boats.

The area is celebrating its 35th anniversary of President Ronald Reagan signing a bill to make the destination the very first designated National Heritage Area in America.
