Canoe, Paddleboard, or Kayak in Newton, Nahanton Park
Rent a Canoe, Paddleboard or Kayak in Newton. Owned by the City of Newton, Nahanton Park consists of 57 acres of forests, meadows, and gardens along the Charles River. From our dock, boaters can enjoy more than 12 miles of uninterrupted river, from Silk Mill Dam at Upper Falls to Dedham Ave in Needham. A significant portion of the river’s shore along this section of river is surrounded by parks, including Cutler Park and Millennium Park, and most of the riverbank is forest and marsh.
Charles River Canoe and Kayak offers hourly canoe and kayak rentals, picnic tables, an indoor function room, and playing fields. Learn more about our Nahanton Park Location in Newton.
To best see this outstanding stretch of river, try one of our Shuttled River Trips and spend the morning or the whole day floating down the Charles!
