Flotilla 35-16 General Information

Flotilla 35-16

59th Street Harbor is located in Jackson Park, a very short walk to the Museum of Science and Industry and the 63rd Street Beach.  With slips for 125 boats from 25’-35’ in length, 59th Street Harbor’s smaller size and friendly community make it a beautiful mooring location along Lake Michigan set in the lagoons from the 1893 Columbian Exposition.  It is the home of Flotilla 35-16.

Jackson Park's marina has two components: Inner Harbor and Outer Harbor. Jackson Park Outer Harbor is located in the heart of Jackson Park just off 63rd Street Beach.  The harbor is beautifully set within the park and its quiet temperament and friendly faces make it a relaxing part of the lakefront.  Jackson Park Yacht Club calls the harbor home and an old Coast Guard station stands watch over the western shore.

Jackson Park is well known nationally as the planned site for the Obama Presidential Center. The Obama Presidential Center represents a historic opportunity to build a world-class museum and public gathering space that celebrates our nation’s first African American President and First Lady on the South Side of Chicago. 

Flotilla 35-16 leads in boat safety inspections at the Calumet Harbor boat ramp nearby the USCG Station Chicago. This flotilla is active in the annual Bud Billikin parade, a major Chicago event.
