Free Kayaking at Bubbly Creek!

  • Park 571 2754 South Eleanor Street Chicago, IL, 60608 United States (map)

Come enjoy a lovely sunset on the water and explore the floating islands, bridges, and riverside wildlife of Bubbly Creek!

When? 4pm-7pm, every Monday through the end of September. Rain or shine, with the exception of active thunderstorms or other hazardous conditions.
Where? Park 571
Who? You, your friends, and your family! No experience required. This program is targeted at the communities directly surrounding Bubbly Creek, but all are welcome. Children under 10 years old must share a kayak with a parent or guardian, and must be able to provide their own properly-fitting life jacket. All participants must sign a waiver before kayaking.

We are able to provide 9 kayaks in shifts of 30 minutes. Due to constraints on storage space and staff bandwidth, we are unfortunately unable to guarantee all walk-up attendees the chance to kayak.

Click the link below to reserve spots for one of our future dates. The remaining spots will be reserved for walk-ups, and filled on a first-come first-serve basis. If you reserve a spot and are not present at the beginning of your scheduled time slot, we will give away your spot to a walk-up participant.
