Chicago Park District offers fishing workshops at Northerly Island Park, providing fishing equipment, bait and spectacular views of boats and skyline. If you tire of fishing, take a walk or cycle around the peninsula path, which meanders through savannah, prairie and wetland habitats. Meadow larks, warblers and shorebirds take you away from the city.
