My wife and I had a lot of fun doing these boat rides. It's fairly relaxed and there's plenty, so we didn't have to compete once we arrived. This is definitely a great date activity and affordable at $12/person. Also a great place for the family. Parking is free in the street and reservations are done online only. I'll definitely return when friends are in town.

Great place for a quick getaway and a nice way to relieve some stress. The city has gone to great pains to clean up the area and their struggles have been fruitful. We grabbed a bite to eat at the boathouse and had a romantic stroll around the park. We were short on time and didn't get to enjoy the Swan Paddle ride but are planning to come back. If you're interested you should check it out. It's only $12 per person per hour.

Echo Park swam boats in Echo Park are a classic LA activity you can do any day or night for a date or with friends and family. To secure a swan, you will need to go online and reserve the boat in advance as walk ups are not allowed. 12 dollars per adult is the price for an hour ride. You will need to show your email confirmation at the entrance kiosk then will be fitted with a life jacket before you can get on the boat. These boats are paddle powered so get ready for a nice easy workout! The views of downtown are spectacular and going leisurely through the entire lake will take you around 45 mns if you go slowly as we did to enjoy the views, the ducks who populate the lake and hills. Kids are allowed as well. After 7:30pm, the swans light up for more of an evening / romantic vibe. Once you are done with your ride, you bring back your boat to the dock where the staff will help you get off safely. Parking is on the street and might take a while on The Weekend to find. There is a small restaurant next to the dock for snacks and drinks.

Fun, unique experience in Echo Park! What I loved most about this was the ease of rescheduling. I had to push back the time a couple times, and the process is painless. The boats are easy to paddle and navigate: you don't have to be in peak physical condition, so that's a plus for a lot of us! We went at golden hour, but next time I'd like to go when it's night time to take full advantage of the LED lights all over the swans!

I had a delightful experience at Echo Park Swan Boats. Making reservations was easy, and the staff was incredibly helpful throughout. The nighttime atmosphere was pleasant and cool, making the ride enjoyable. The whole experience was fun and straightforward, making it a great option for a casual outing with friends or a romantic date under the beautiful LA night sky.
