Description

Tucked away in a quiet corner of the park Chicago wall offers five challenging routes. Nothing's a giveaway over here. Pack a lunch.

Getting There

From the circular parking area near the river access put the boat ramp on your left and head into the woods. You'll find a narrow foot trail leading into the woods through the tall grass. Follow this trail until you see a tall wall on your right with small caves in the face. Welcome to Chi-Town.
