About This Access Site
Tower Road provides access to Lake Michigan in Winnetka, a residential area of Cook County. This is a Lake Michigan access point rather than a whitewater site, despite the classification provided. The location offers paddlers and boaters a chance to access one of the Great Lakes, which features open water conditions and can experience variable weather and wave conditions depending on season and wind. Users should be aware that Lake Michigan is a large freshwater lake that demands respect, proper safety equipment, and awareness of weather conditions before launching.
