Catch a glimpse of local wildlife, including herons, turtles, mink and deer on the Chicago River Wilderness trip. We will meet at Linne Woods, at the entrance just east of Dempster St. and Ferris Ave in Morton Grove at 9:30 a.m. We will take the shuttle bus up to the dam at Willow Road in Winnetka and paddle down the North Branch of the Chicago River back to our cars. We will stop for lunch during the trip (please bring your own!) and will finish up around 3:30 p.m. Total distance paddled: 6 miles.

Our fun, knowledgeable guides will provide safety and paddling instruction plus all of the necessary equipment. Ages 5 and up. Trips cost $50 per person.
