Chicago is a great tourist destination. When you have had your fill of Chicago Red Hots and Wrigley Field, take a day trip for a lazy day of river tubing on Indiana’s Tippecanoe River.
Chicago is the home of The Sears Tower and the Chicago Cubs. The Windy City hosts many tourists every year for fun in the summer. The famous “Magnificent Mile,” offer some of the best bars and best restaurants in the country. From Deep Dish pizzas at Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria to Chicago “Dirty Water” Red Hots, the Windy City offers many treats to its visitors. Chicago gets mighty sticky hot in the summer and leaving the city for a day in the country is the best way to beat the humidity. Nothing better than a relaxing motor coach ride for a lazy day of inner tube river riding on the Tippecanoe River in Indiana.
Just two hours away by luxury motor coach from Chicago is Winamac, Indiana, home of the Tippecanoe River. Enjoy three hours of tube riding down the serene, calm river and other fun activities. Don’t be scared off by the name of the river. It is a very calm river, ideal for the novice inner tube rider.
