If you want to experience the beauty and the spirit of the Chicago River condensed into a single attraction, the Chicago Riverwalk is the place for you. Also known as the City’s ‘Second Lakefront’, this sophisticated and urbane area is fast becoming the place to bring your date to for a jaunty night on the town. If you’re there in the day, the Riverwalk also offers restaurants, park-seating, boat rentals and other activities. It extends all the way to Wolf Point, and features a series of attractions such as the Jetty, a series of piers and floating wetland gardens that offer an interactive learning environment for the ecology of the river, as well as the chance to fish and identify native plants. There are also live performances from local musicians, public art exhibitions and other special events offered throughout the year to keep your experience a fresh and lively one!
