Charles River Canoe & Kayak Boston

Canoe & Kayak
RENTALS, GUIDED TOURS, GROUP OUTINGS

Enjoy an outing on one of the most scenic sections of urban river in the country. In a small boat, paddlers get exceptional views of Frederick Law Olmstead's "Emerald Necklace" (including the Esplanade — a great picnic spot!), plus local colleges (Harvard, MIT, and Boston University) and the unforgettable Boston skyline.

Hourly canoe, kayak, and rowboat rentals open this great resource to you at an affordable cost. Now, from our location in Artesani Park in Allston/Brighton, you can get out on the river, whether for a picnic lunch or relaxation after a week of work. This nine-mile stretch of river has no current, allowing easy round trips.
