At $7.50/hour the canoe rentals are an excellent deal at the Waterfront Activities Center. It’s too bad they don’t rent kayaks though - just canoes and row boats. The arboretum provides plenty of places to wander around, with ducks and geese and even beautfiul blooming lily pads in season. This weekend we had the awesome opportunity to get pretty close to a blue heron sitting on a log.
Since its only February, it was not very crowded at all, and we were able to get a boat and launch in less than a few minutes. However, we have gone in the middle of a warm, sunny summer weekend day, and it was incredibly crowded on the dock. Just remember - it’s cash only and they require you to leave your ID at the front desk and pay when you get back. There’s plenty of parking since it’s located right next to Husky Stadium.
