Discover what we've curated for you
This Georgetown location offers a laid-back, self-service kayaking and canoeing experience that regulars seem to genuinely love. The staff gets consistent praise for being friendly and helpful, and the operation is refreshingly straightforward: book online, sign your waiver once per season, grab your gear, and you're on the water. Most people appreciate how affordable and efficient the whole process is, with minimal fuss getting you out to paddle. The setting is the real draw here. Head north for peaceful nature views and wildlife spotting around Three Sisters Rocks, or paddle south for stunning DC cityscape vistas. Many reviewers mention bringing coolers for picnic lunches during their rentals. The fleet includes kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards to suit different preferences. Be aware that this is a no-frills operation where you're pretty much on your own once you launch, which works great for confident paddlers but might feel less supportive for complete beginners. Double-check hours before heading out, as closing times can be earlier than expected, and online booking is required even for walk-ups.
Beautiful spot to spend a day canoeing and walking around Georgetown. Highly recommend. We did a 2 hour canoe rental and brought a cooler with lunch. Row north if you want great scenery of nature and row south if you want an amazing view of the DC cityscape. Will be going again next season!!
