The North Shore Channel is a man made canal extending from Lake Michigan in Wilmette to the North Branch of the Chicago River at 5100 North and 3000 west using the Chicago numbering system.  This is at River Park.  At the proximal end, there is a sluice gate to prevent water from backing up into Lake Michigan.
