Why does the Chicago River flow backwards? It does not flow into Lake Michigan as nature intended, but instead withdraws water from it and flows into the Mississippi. A simple and logical explanation. The sewage should not go into the drinking water reservoir of Lake Michigan. It's better to work with nature and redirect the problem elsewhere, even if it means manipulating 28 miles of nature.
Nevertheless, a boat tour on the Chicago River is fascinating. In addition to the enormous buildings, you feel quite small. The Riverwalk also invites you to stroll and linger.
One more sleep and then it's goodbye Chicago, see you soon.
