The Chicago River runs through the center of downtown Chicago. Through an amazing engineering feat back in the 19th century, the direction of the river was reversed, so it now flows away from Lake Michigan.
Over the Chicago River are a number of bridges. Some of the busiest bridges in the world, the time to view them is at the beginning of the boating season when all of the little sailboats are taken from drydocks storage, out onto Lake Michigan.
According to the Bridges Department of the City of Chicago, a "boat run" starts around 9:30 on Wednesday's and Saturday's during the spring and fall boating season.
