Belmont Harbor & the Lakefront Trail
Belmont Harbor anchors Lake View's stretch of the Chicago Lakefront Trail, where a wide paved path runs along the water's edge past hundreds of moored sailboats on their way out to Lake Michigan. Underpasses at Belmont and Wellington carry you beneath Lake Shore Drive without ever crossing traffic, opening onto green lakefront lawns, a boat launch, and miles of running and biking path in both directions. The harbor is free, open around the clock, and busy with joggers and cyclists from the first warm morning of spring through the last fall evenings. It is the neighborhood's front door to the lake, a five-minute walk that turns an ordinary morning run into a view of open water and sailboats at anchor.
