Join us as we paddle our way through the downtown section of the Chicago River while the sun sets! Enjoy a leisurely pace through Chicago’s magnificent architecture while the changing colors of the sky reflect brilliantly off of the surrounding glassy skyscrapers. This is one of the best ways to experience the city, improve your kayaking skills, and enjoy the friendly fun of paddling with others.
Crane your neck to peer up at the Sears …ahem… Willis Tower, decide if the Civic Opera Building was designed to look like a chair, try to comprehend the sheer scale of the Merchandise Mart, and more as we paddle past nearly every significant landmark along the river while gliding through Chicago’s interior skyline.
Come out with us for a beautiful ride!
