Explore Stow Lake in a boat

Went for a jazz show at the boathouse. Good performance from The Vermilion City Trio, and a decent selection of drinks available for the small place that it is. A bit cold on the inside, even dressed for it, and the seats were very uncomfortable for sitting that long.

The Blue Heron Boathouse in San Francisco is a delightful spot to enjoy a day by the water! They offer pedal boat rentals for a cost of $32 an hour, that are perfect for exploring Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park. The rental process was easy, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The pedal boats are well-maintained and provide a fun way to see the park from a different perspective. The snack shop at the boathouse is convenient for grabbing refreshments before or after your boating adventure. They have a good selection of snacks and drinks to enjoy while taking in the beautiful surroundings.

A gem in the middle of Golden Gate Park! We had no problem renting a paddle boat for the three of us and an hour rental was enough to get around the lake and have fun! It’s reasonably priced for the family. Parking is free if you can find a spot along the road. The boat house also has food options and a place to dine or eat lunch you bring. You can also sit along the lake in benches or on grass. Many things to see from birds, turtles, waterfall, pagoda, bridge, etc. it’s fun for any age! Even more fun when you are the parent and your kids do all the paddling! Try it out!

We rented a pedal boat for an hour and had a blast! We had the water to ourselves with the exception of one other person on Monday at 11am. Food and drink selection is limited but that was fine for us as we went for the boating experience, not food.

Such a great spot for kids and adults. There are fishes and lot of turtles. This place is located inside Golden Gate Park. You can rent a canoe or pedal boat. Great for a day trip with the kids. Ive seen adults out there bring their own food and drinks settle in the middle of the lake and have a picnic in the canoe.
