Safe Paddling Through Diversey Harbor

Safety is always a concern when heading out onto the water. Please take note of the points below for paddling from Diversey Harbor.

Obey the red and green traffic lights for going into or out of the harbor.



Outside the harbor, observe the "No Boat" markers along the shore.

Remember that beaches are off limits to kayakers from Memorial Day to Labor Day with a few exceptions where the kayakers can use small portions of some beaches designated as part of the Lake Michigan Water Trail.

· Stay out of the way of motorized craft-even if you have the right-of way. You have to keep a constant watch for motor craft because they're not going to see you until they're very near you and often the big cruisers are on auto pilot. You won't show up on anyone's radar
