Paddle the lower waterway with a SUP rental from Riva Row
1 to 4 Hours
Rent a stand-up paddleboard at Riva Row Boat House and head out on the lower waterway for a core workout at your own pace. Choose from 10.5-foot, 11-foot, and 11.5-foot boards, and sit down if you get tired.
You will need to show one photo ID for your group, and it will be kept as a deposit until you return. A late fee applies for each watercraft returned more than 15 minutes late, equal to one full-priced hour per watercraft. Children age 16 to 17 may go out without supervision, but a parent or legal guardian must sign the rental waiver.
Cancel 72+ hours before your reservation to reschedule or get a full refund. Cancel 24+ hours before to reschedule. No changes or refunds within 24 hours. If the operator cancels, you can reschedule or get a full refund.
Check the weather and bring what you need (for example: a jacket, hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses). Before you check in, finish your pre-water prep: use the restroom, apply sunscreen, and store items in your car. A towel or spare outfit can help since you’ll likely get wet.
Bring one photo ID for your group. The boat house keeps the photo ID as a deposit until you return.
Yes. Children 9 and under must ride in a watercraft with someone older than 16. Children 10–15 may be in their own watercraft with direct adult supervision. Ages 16–17 may go out without supervision, but a parent or legal guardian must sign the rental waiver.
Riva Row Boat House
Riva Row offers a lovely escape for kayaking, paddle boarding, and swan boat rentals in The Woodlands area. The lake setting is genuinely peaceful and scenic, with many guests raving about the Moonlight Paddle experience at sunset. The rental process itself tends to be straightforward, with several reviewers mentioning they were able to walk up or book online and get out on the water quickly. The equipment is generally well-maintained, and the location offers convenient parking and beautiful surroundings that make the whole experience feel refreshing. Staff experiences are a bit of a mixed bag. Many guests have encountered warm, helpful employees who anticipate needs and make the process smooth. However, there's a pattern of some staff seeming disengaged or less attentive, with a few reviews noting young employees chatting amongst themselves rather than greeting customers. It's not a dealbreaker for most visitors who still rate their overall experience highly, but you might need to be the one to initiate interaction at the window. Despite these occasional service hiccups, the natural beauty and relaxing atmosphere keep people coming back.
