About Us

Chicago River Canoe & Kayak
The Great Outdoors, Right Next Door



You can rent a boat and make your own trip at any of our launches.
  • All rental trips are round-trips.
  • We send beginners north from the Chicago and Skokie launches, so that the current will help bring you back.
You're welcome to reserve by e-mail a day in advance, or by phone (at left).
  • Reservations are not required, but may be helpful for groups or for people coming at peak hours.
