“The area is small but it was fun. We just kept turning around and doing it over and over again. I was with two 10 year old girls and myself and they really enjoyed it. The staff was 5 teens or young adults but they were super friendly. Definitely worth the $10 and we had no issues with the paddle boat at all. It was easy to operate and steer. We will definitely go back!”

“This place is a hidden gem. My family enjoyed this the first time, second time and third time and so on. Always ducks to see, shade, no rush. Not a huge area to paddle around but just enough to keep 7 year old entertained. Thanks Gahana!”

“We see everyday what these poor kids have to go through because the boats breaking down with chains coming off . I would like to see a park staff member work with these kids I don't think they would like to put a chain back on those boats after retrieving and dragging them to the side. The really bad thing is it happens every time a boat goes out. BEWARE they need new boats ud83dudea2”

“So my paddle boat experience was pretty good. I give this place 5 stars in the fact that the young folks that worked there were very pleasant and helpful. The only reason why I give this place 4 stars is because the ride is so short that you have to stop in the middle of the water just to let your 30 minutes go by because you can do the entire paddle boat in like 5 minutes that's how short the distance is. But for $1”

“This is perfect to take a toddler for their 1st time kayaking to see if they'll like it. The area to paddle is 0.1 miles long. That's 2 football fields. It only goes to the wooden pedestrian bridge. In 30 mins you can paddle back and forth many times. We saw ducks, baby ducks, geese, a snake. It was a good time. 70 yr old grandparents had a hard time getting in and out of the kayak. Should have booked a paddle boat i”

“Rented a paddle boat...chain broke about 5 mins into our ride. Crew members took their time getting to us...we had 2 adults and 2 kids aboard and they gave use a single paddle (wide boat) to get ourselves back. No apologies or a chance to get on a boat that wasn't busted. It's only ten bucks, but save your money. Super disappointing.”
