Chicago
Harbors
The Chicago Park District's
9 lakefront harbors stretch from
Lincoln Park in the northern
part of the city to Jackson Park
in the south. With accommodations
for more than 5,000 boats, the
Chicago park District Harbors
constitute the nation's largest
municipal harbor system and feature
state-of-the-art floating docks,
moorings, star docks, fuel facilities

boaters and their guests. Since
1996, the Park District has invested
more than $65 million dollars

facilities. The harbors are very
