Chicago, Illinois: Water Trails

By Leger & Mark

Tall kayaking

Chicago has the most renowned architecture of any U.S. city - and an opportunity to see it from the water in a sea kayak. True, you''ll be dodging commercial watercraft instead of traffic. Call it extreme paddling, city-style. While you''re tooling around, be sure to visit the Calumet River for some post-industrial anti-glamour. In fact, the entire area around Chicago offers some fine paddling. See Gary''s article for the suggestions that will work for everybody from the rank beginner to the most experienced.
