🏃 Chicago Marathon heads up for boaters!

The Bank of America Chicago Marathon takes over the streets this Sunday, October 11, and road closures will impact access to portions of the lakefront and our downtown harbors.

DuSable Lake Shore Drive will remain open in both directions, but several streets providing access to the lakefront—including Monroe, Columbus and Roosevelt—will be closed for portions of the weekend.

If you’re headed to the harbors Sunday, please plan ahead, allow extra travel time and check the official Marathon street closure information before you leave.

A happy belated 89th birthday to one of Chicago’s most iconic lakefront connections.

On October 5, 1937, the Outer Drive Bridge opened across the Chicago River, helping connect the north and south sides of what we know today as DuSable Lake Shore Drive.

Nearly nine decades later, there still may not be a better drive in the city (and one as boaters we know all too well.)

One month left. 🍂⛵ The Chicago Harbors remain open through October 31, and there’s still plenty of boating season ahead.

As we head into fall, a few good reminders before you leave the dock:

▶ Check the forecast and lake conditions before heading out.
▶ Make sure your navigation lights are working — daylight disappears a lot earlier this time of year.
▶ Bring an extra layer and keep those PFDs handy as temperatures drop.
▶ Give your lines, batteries and engine a quick check now rather than waiting until haul-out.
▶ And if you haven’t already, start making your end-of-season maintenance and winterization plan.

📅 Chicago Harbors close for the season October 31 but there’s still time for a few more great days on the lake. Make ’em count.

What’s still on your boating bucket list before the season ends?

September looks good from the water. ☀️🏙️

Summer may be winding down, but there’s still time for skyline cruises, afternoons aboard, and taking the long way back to your slip.
