A Two-Hour Tour: Tying up at Chicago's Bustling Downtown Docks

 Approaching Downtown Docks

I – and what seemed like half the city – stopped by Downtown Docks Tuesday just before quitting time. Located smack-dab in the center of town on the Chicago River, less than a mile from the river entrance, the starboard tie-up here is easy once you're out of boat traffic. It's getting a reservation that can be a bit harder.
