The Potomac is DC's best kept secret. 10 boathouses across the DMV. Kayaks, canoes, SUPs, happy hours, and the best seat in the city for a sunset. Get out here 🌊

The story of Boating in DC actually starts in 2002, in our small New England hometown of Hopkinton, Massachusetts. That’s where a charismatic man named Barry began the boating vision by opening Outdoor Recreation of Hopkinton, a kayak rental concession in Hopkinton State Park. Barry continued to successfully grow the business to include more services and locations in the Boston area. ln 2009, Barr

You found it. A 2026 Paddling or Sculling Season Pass for 25% off, good across ten DC waterfront locations all season long. The Potomac has been here for 250 years and somehow this is still one of the most underrated ways to spend a summer in this city.
