Newton: Historic Boathouse
Come paddle at the historic boathouse in Newton!
Enjoy the historic Lakes District of the Charles, a six-mile stretch of flatwater with little current. This section of river, which is largely bordered by parkland and forest, was once a haven for canoeists looking to escape the city — and is again today!
In addition to hourly and daily rentals of canoes, kayaks, and SUP boards, we also host relaxing Moonlight Tours and Kayak and Paddleboarding Classes.
