Travel Directions

After entering Montrose Harbor from Montrose Ave you will continue until you see W Montrose Harbor Dr (Park Bait Shop is on the corner) there is also a sign saying No Outlet. Take that street down until you approach the second building on the right, the public washrooms. The boat is located down the adjoining staircase. Park on the outer drive and pay for parking. Please limit the amount of cars or use an Uber as we cannot guarantee to find a parking spot. Chicago Park District and Chicago Police control the parking. The inner parking lot is private and not accessible to customers. Have your party meet at the boat at least 15 minutes before departure so the boat can leave on time. All fishing tackle and bait is supplied on the boat.
