The Chicago River is a 156-mile system of waterways that runs through the city; it connects the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. The river is so important that it’s memorialized throughout Chicago; you’ll noticed Y-shaped symbols on structures all around Chi-Town that represent the Chicago River’s three branches. There’s also a lot of tradition surrounding the river, especially around St. Patrick’s Day. Each St. Patrick’s Day weekend, the river is dyed green in celebration of the holiday.

Aside from learning about the river’s history, you’ll get to see Chicago’s buildings up close. Chicago is considered the home of the skyscraper – and for good reason. The city contains more than 1,200 high-rise buildings, including the famous Willis Tower. The 108-story skyscraper is the tallest building in the United States; it was the tallest building in the world until it was dethroned by the Petronas Towers in Malaysia back in 1998. Trump Tower, Aon Center, and John Hancock Center are other mind-blowing skyscrapers you will encounter throughout your Chicago kayak tour.
