Kayak storage in Chicago
 

Hello-

I've got a couple kayaks that I'd like to store near water (not having
the space in an apartment or a car to move them with). Does anyone
know of an economical way to do this?

The Chicago River Rowing Club and Lincoln Park Boat Club offer
storage, but you need to be a member (annual fee + storage fee). They
still aren't too bad, but I was hoping for something even cheaper
($300/yr).

Cheers,
Jake

Wow- good luck dude. 300 bucks- that stinks. What about something up
toward Milwaukee, or maybe over by Michigan City?

Makes me realize how lucky I have it- many boats to choose from in the
carport, and a lake out the back door.

It's a problem.

Kayaking is not exactly the ideal sport for those without storage or means
of transport around this City.

The original poster could make an offer on this property:

Hmmmm.... Maybe we should get a dozen Chicago Kayakers together and go in on
it.

Funny. I found the same property doing a Google search for Chicago kayak storage.

Have you checked with the Park District? I believe you can rent
on-beach storage at Montrose Beach, possibly at other locations.
