Chicago Transit Authority 🤝 packraft

Bring your boat on the ‘L’!
So many options to get to/from the water car-free.

Shout out to Urban Rivers for my personal favorite launch point, The Wild Mile.

Great views are the norm around here. Keep your therapist but supplement with boat therapy. Results may vary. Check and see if bikerafting is right for you.

The West Branch from Geneva Rd. to Mack Rd. was perfect today 🚲🚣‍♂️🌊

Fortunately, only one of these boats moves! 🛶

Lots more to share from the Elgin area. Multiple Metra stops, PACE bus access, and direct entry to the Fox River Trail make it perfect for packrafting—with or without a bike.��

“Paddled” this one so you don’t have to. One day I’ll find a creek deep enough to explore 😬. Until then, you can find me in the mud.
