Rent a Car Chicago and DuSable Harbor, Chicago
DuSable Harbor is located in the heart of downtown Chicago at the foot of Randolph Street with your Chicago travel guide. Entrance to the harbor is through the Monroe Harbor entrance, but with a turn to the north along the eastern breakwater, past the stern of the Columbia Yacht Club and into the harbor.
No ordinary walk through the park
The DuSable Harbor Park is 3.24 acres and is currently under a large-scale redevelopment process. Restructuring of the land and sea walls, as well as historical statues are to be erected. With your Chicago travel guide, you will find the park will be central to many of Chicago's community-oriented structures including the proposed Chicago Spire (an architectural feat in itself!), the scenic Lake Shore drive, the historic Navy Pier with Lake Michigan to its west and the Chicago River to its south. The restored DuSable Harbor Park and its centrality will undoubted add to visitor experiences.
