The Skokie lagoons, Winnetka
Posted by: YoNorthShore
Video duration: 269 seconds
The lagoons are stocked with bass, walleye, northern pike and more, making for what some fisherman say is one of the best spots in Illinois. The lagoons were created from a marshland as one of the largest Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) projects of the 1930s. They're now one of the most beautiful recreational sites in the Chicago area.

Wilmette's small, protected harbor is one of the most pleasant spots on the North Shore.
The Sheridan Shore Yacht Club is in its 85th year at the harbor. It's friendly, welcoming, affordable and may have the shortest wait for slips in Chicagoland (for small sailboats). The wait for a motorboat slip can range up to 20 years.
