Hello I wanted a new activity and I purchased an inflatable paddle board. I read the cities rules for paddle boarding but it is not real clear of places you cannot go.

I do not have any friends that paddle board so your help is appreciated. One place i know I will go a lot is montrose harbor in the southern part. Is there any places near montrose harbor that your not allowed to paddle board? I will stay like a 100 feet from the concrete to stay away from boats.

Does anyone know if you can go to the beaches in the northern suburbs and just enter water from a beach? I am wondering because I recall some beaches do not allow floats so I do not know if they would allow stand up paddle board , or SUP.

Has anyone gone SUPing down town on the Chicago river? where can you enter and leave? If i get good at it i was planning on making a trip down the north branch to downtown and back.

Ok well if anyone has any info thank you.

Evanston rents kayaks, sailing boats and stand up paddle boards, so I imagine you can use them in Evanston, but maybe launch only from certain beaches (Dempster Street Beach has a launching place).

Wilmette has a sailing beach too. I think that is at Gilson Park.
