Your A-List: Best Place to Rent a Canoe/Kayak
When you’re driving over one of the bridges crossing Lady Bird Lake on a sunny day, you’ve probably noticed that the lake is often spotted with canoes and kayaks. Ever wonder where all of those watercraft come from? A safe bet would be that many of them originated at Zilker Park Boat Rentals, with 50 percent of the vote, the winner of the Your A-List poll for Best Place to Rent a Canoe/Kayak.
From 10 a.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. on weekends until the summer sun sets over West Austin, you can rent a watercraft from the folks located inside Zilker Park for either $10 an hour or drop $40 and paddle all day to your heart’s content.Whether you and the family or a date want to head out for a leisurely paddle or you’re just looking for some alone time on the water, with a fleet of 17-foot Alumacraft and Grumman canoes and both Frenzy and Malibu Two Ocean Kayaks, Zilker Park Boat Rental has you covered.
