Chicago’s popular lakefront gets plenty of traffic and attention as the weather warms, and rightfully so – it’s one of the most beautiful and active summertime pedestrian areas in the city. But another less-heralded stretch of shoreline has been getting busier and prettier with each passing year, to the point where the lake just might soon find itself competing for visitors with the suddenly resurgent Chicago Riverwalk.

This newly expanded and improved corridor takes walkers, joggers and bikers right to the edge of our famously backward-flowing manmade waterway, with plenty to see and do. Take a cruise through the steel and glass canyons of downtown on a Wendella Boats architectural tour (400 N. Michigan; 312/337-1446). Use some pedal power to create your own two-wheeled tour with a bike or rollerblade rental from Bike and Roll Chicago (310 E. Riverwalk South – Wacker and Columbus; 312/729-1000). Or just sit back with a sandwich and a glass of wine under an umbrella and watch the world float on by at Cyrano’s Café (233 E. Lower Wacker; 312/616-1400), pictured left.
