XVI - The Riverwalk

2000: Chicago's Riverwalk Master Plan fosters recreational use of the river and the nurturing of such attractions as riverwalk cafes and tour boats. Recreational activities include the return of canoes, gondolas, river bikes and other pleasure craft. With a cleaner river has come the return of bass and other game fish attracting sport fishing and fish derbys. Insets, uppet left show water skiing and a parade of boats at Venetian Night.
