Boating & Rentals

THE BOATHOUSE PADDLE CO. IS OPEN FROM 11:00AM EVERYDAY. FUEL UP IN THE BOATHOUSE RESTAURANT, AND THEN CAST OFF TO EXPLORE THE 22 ACRES OF WATERWAYS THAT WIND AROUND FOREST PARK.

We know why you really came to The Boathouse at Forest Park. The food was a bonus, but you came here to live out your childhood dream as a pirate or a naval commander. Well, we won't burst your bubble. We can't offer you the high seas, but Post Dispatch Lake is a fantastic place to launch a mini-expedition on our paddle boats, canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards. Our boats may not be the USS Constitution, but we can promise they'll float.

We open every morning, and close around sunset each night. Rent our boats by the hour to explore Forest Park from an entirely new perspective. Stay up to date on special events like moonlight picnics and paddleboard yoga.
