From the weeki wachii kayak, you generally need to make a reservation. I have a friend who just wanted to pay to launch and they told her she needed a reservation.
From what I was told by the kayak rental across from Rogers Park( bottom of spring)Very nice ppl and operation), the official operation at the top, will be changing their route to just paddle 1/2 way and then paddle back, eliminating the need for shuttles. They currently employ a police officer to manage the waters. Seriously, too many tourists at one time on the water. Often loud and ruining the nature experience.
The current is often very strong there and not so easy to paddle the whole way upstream during the tidal ( changing tides) waves.
There's a guy with a houseboat that sells soda, snacks, hotdogs, etc nearer to bottom, so bring a little $ if you didn't bring enough water or snacks. Nice option :)
