There was a discussion last summer about launch ramps in the Chicago area, with one person pointing out there a map search showed none on the Chicago coast, only north or south of it.

I hear on the radio every day now (April) about traffic downtown having to watch out for raised bridges. Apparently the boats launch on ramps on the various Chicago rivera and sail down to their slips along Lake Michigan.

So both the "no ramps on the Chicago waterfront" and the "there gotta be - so many boats" were correct. :)

most of the ramps are set back along the canals, or in the north/south areas. Ive launched from the horseshoe casino are just sailed from there.

There are at least three harbors in Chicago with launch ramps for trailerable boats: Diversey (power boats only), Burnham and the new 31st Street Harbor. You can get more information at www.chicagoharbors.info.
