Boating on The lake, Central Park, NYC, NY:
Boating on the Lake, Central Park’s second largest water body, is a great way to spend a lazy summer afternoon in the Park. Visitors can take in the water views and get a closer look at the Lake’s historic boat landings, which the Conservancy recently restored to their original designs. After the park opened and interest in rowing grew, the Lake needed a proper boathouse. In 1874, Park architect Calvert Vaux designed a rustic building on the eastern shoreline on the spot where the boats are stored today, to provide covered space for docking and storage. Row boating on the Lake is available April through October, weather permitting. Row boats and gondolas can be rented at the Loeb Boathouse daily, 10:00 am until dusk.
