We had a nice morning paddling at Montrose Beach. Staff was helpful in getting us set up, and then we were ready to launch!

The location was a little hard to find, but we had an incredible experience there even after being quite late. Everything was professional and everyone working there was really sweet and chill. Great experience, absolutely would go back again.

Love the beach vibes at Kayak Chicago's Montrose Beach location. Always a great time out on the lake -- reserving/booking online first the way to go. Lunch or drinks afterwards at Montrose Dock is also a must.
