About Winthrop Harbor

Winthrop Harbor is the farthest northern suburb of Chicago before hitting the Wisconsin border, located right on the shores of Lake Michigan and near natural forest preserves. The community has come to be known for its North Point Marina, the largest marina on the Great Lakes. Drawing both locals and tourists alike, the Winthrop Harbor area boasts plenty to see, do, and experience in its small town. While beautiful landscapes, many parks, beaches, and friendly residents add to the suburb’s unique charm.
