Encompassing six miles of flatwater from Newton Lower Falls to the Moody Street Dam in Waltham, the Lakes District of the Charles River has a long history of boating activity. With the dramatic improvement in water quality over the past decade, the Lakes District is again popular with canoists, kayakers, and rowers. Learn more about our Newton Location.

Our historic Newton Boathouse, located on Comm. Ave next to the Newton Marriott, is open seven days a week (approx. April 1 to Nov. 21) for rentals, houses our Paddling Store, and serves as our primary base of operations.
