One Way Rental (Downtown to Northwest)

One Way Kayak Rental Downtown to Northwest Chicago with Wateriders!

A 5 Mile Paddle for the Adventurous!

• Kayak Chicago with Wateriders, Chicagoland’s original Urban Kayaks.
• Adventurous paddlers will be able to complete a one-way, five-mile paddle from Wateriders Downtown (East Bank Club) to Wateriders Northwest (Rockwell on the River). One-way excursions are recommended for experienced paddlers looking for a new urban adventure. And, as both Wateriders locations are adjacent to Divvy bike-share stops and near public transport, the one-way kayak trip can become part of a day-long adventure.
• Experienced paddlers, in the judgment of Wateriders’ guides, will have the opportunity to enjoy a one-way kayak.

For Every One-Way Group

• Guests will have at least one cell phone in a Ziploc or drybag with a number registered at the departure location.
• Kayaks are equipped with trackers and guests must stay on the river and only exit the boat at designated locations. No kayak may be taken off the river except for emergencies.
• One-way renters may also return the kayak to their departure location.
