This trip through the beating heart of the city provides an elegant and beautiful way to view Chicago at sunset and after dark – including a great Navy Pier fireworks show over Lake Michigan.

At just over 3 miles round-trip, this tour is an ideal distance for both amateurs and experienced paddlers alike.

Take in the fireworks at the twilight’s last gleaming from the unique vista of a kayak on the rippling waters of the Chicago River. After the show, paddle back beneath the twinkling lights of some of America’s most beautiful buildings!

ORIENTATION

https://wateriders.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/night04_900-1-600x258.jpg

PROMENADE

https://wateriders.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wr13-600x258.jpg

Once we are all in kayaks, we begin our paddle from our dock to the locks. Just after the first bridge, we are greeted by the most breathtaking view on the river. We then paddle to another fantastic vista at Wolf Point, and soon after, we proceed to navigate down the beautifully lit East Branch towards Navy Pier.

FIREWORKS!

Grab on to your fellow kayakers’ boats once we get down near the locks as we enjoy the fantastic fireworks display! Savor the moment as you look on along with a legion of other boaters of all shapes and sizes as the fireworks launch from just beyond Navy Pier.
