• This beautiful path offers the best views of the city along any of it's 18 miles. It's walking and biking only and has beaches, restaurants, sand volleyball, people watching and street food along the way. I encourage you to walk or bike (rent a blue DIVVY bike - city bike rental!) as much of the path as you can to experience different skyline views of the amazing architecture Chicago has to offer. Extra adventurous? Hop into a beach volleyball game at the hundreds of courts dotted along the beaches. There's something totally unique about being on a beach, toes in the sand, staring at the VERY blue lake, while surrounded by high rises.
