About Riva Row Boat House
Riva Row Boat House opened as the first public boat rental location in The Woodlands, TX, in 2009 as part of the rapidly-developing Woodlands Waterway in The Woodlands Town Center. It is centrally located within walking distance from Town Green Park, Market Street, and The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. This boat house sits on the lower waterway, and it takes about 20-25 leisurely minutes to reach Lake Woodlands by watercraft. Eight (8) family-friendly rental options include single and tandem kayaks, single and tandem pedal kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, elliptical stand-up paddle boards, water bikes, and swan boats.
A second boat house, Lakes Edge Boat House, opened in 2016 in the new Hughes Landing development. This compact, kiosk-style boat house is located just south of Restaurant Row between One Lakes Edge and Two Lakes Edge apartment buildings and docks directly on Lake Woodlands for easy access to Northshore Park and the rest that the beautiful lake has to offer. Rental options currently include single kayaks, tandem kayaks, and stand-up paddle boards. Beginning in spring 2021 offerings at LEBH will include water bikes as well!
Riva Row Boat House and Lakes Edge Boat House are owned and operated by The Woodlands Township, a political subdivision of the State of Texas.

Love this place, the lake is beautiful and the price is too. It's currently 20 per kayak for the first hour and less for the next couple. When you get the double kayak it makes for a great date on a great budget. I recommend the afternoon because the wind settles down on the lake for a serene experience.

The service was great and the kayaking route has a lot of amazing views of the architecture, fountains, and sculptures of the Woodlands. It's a great way to spend a weekend actively, and if you're with a partner, they have two-person boats too!

A great option to do something outdoors. Husband and I rented the tandem pedal kayak. We had also done the Swan pedal board before. That was fun too. I was afraid we needed some level of experience with the kayaks, but it really wasn't that hard. Next time we will try the kayaks without the pedals.
