Fall in love with the south side of Chicago with our morning 3-hour long “South Branch Stretch.” This paddle is
intended for experienced paddlers as we will be embarking down the South Branch of Chicago’s far-reaching river
toward the Chinatown and Bridgeport neighborhood and back. This paddle is intended as a long-distance workout
and isn’t for first-time kayakers. Eat a healthy breakfast; bring a thermos of water, and let’s ride!
Wake up and work out with the South Bend Stretch!
