Chicago Kayak Club outings are held most every other day in season (April-Oct) Out of season, not only do we keep kayaking (less frequent trips though), but we also snowshoe, cross country ski, or simply travel somewhere warm for kayaking. This year we are going to the Everglades!

Remember, membership entitles you to use a club boat for free on any local paddle as long as there is still space.

Marine Forecast
The local Marine Forecast often determines whether or not we go out on Lake MI on any given day.  Please check the forecast, as well as our yahoo group which we will post any last minute changes to our plans.
