Some of Chicago’s hidden gems are the ten municipal harbors that line the shore of Lake Michigan. These harbors, operated by Westrec Marinas for the Chicago Park District, provide gorgeous views of the city and are conveniently located near several popular Chicago attractions.
The harbors offer seasonal boating for those who would like to rent a slip or mooring can for the boating season, which in Chicago runs from May 1 until October 31. They also offer transient boating for boaters who would like to rent a slip for a shorter amount of time, with reservations made similar to the process of booking a hotel room.
