The Swan Boats at Echo Park Lake are one of Los Angeles’ hidden gems. Don’t miss this unique way to explore Echo Lake signature lotus beds and fountain. Rated one of the best LA activities, Echo Park pedal boats are a great way to enjoy the outdoors! We are the official boat concessionaire for all Los Angeles City Parks.

Very beautiful experience especially at night!!! Great date idea. The process of signing up was easy but I would suggest signing in and up before getting there as there can be a line at times
What a fun evening! Going near sunset we got the benefit of seeing how light changes the fountain, the geese coming in for the night and the boats lit up. The food trucks made for some good dinner options.
Make sure to book advance and check sunset times to get the best experience. Go to Leo's Tacos too for food first. Friendly staff and some boxes views of lake and downtown.
It was such an amazing experience to share with my family! I will say though, if you reserve ahead of time and also show up 15 minutes before your reservation they will still make you wait in the line. They did allow a couple of other people that reserved go in first but not my family! Very disappointed
We had a really good time! Everyone that worked there was very nice. There were a lot of people there, but everyone looked like they were having a great time as well. And of course, we occasionally ran into another boat by “accident “!!! 🤪
The life jackets smell horrific the people working were yelling at folks who clearly didn’t speak English and there were swarms of gnats
It was a great experience but the mosquitoes or bugs start to attack you big time. That's what made us leave earlier than our hour in the swan.
I had made the reservation for two couples (4 adults) I figured they would give us two separate boats so we could be alone with our partners. They wouldn’t allow us to be separate because we’re on the same reservation. I had no idea this was an issue and wished I had known at the time of purchase because it would have been just as easy to make two separate reservations and experienced it as the way I intended. The whole reason for being there was to make a video of a marriage proposal from a short distance with the Los Angeles skyline in the background. What I anticipated as being a beautifully captured intimate moment turned out adversely different. There was no difference in cost and simply making us aware of this ridiculous policy would’ve made all the difference in the world.
It was very boring no relaxing at all boats have water in them and very dirty the life vest were smelly was only there for 10 mins
Fun experience for couples or families together The staff was great and very helpful. I’d recommend anyone to try it once
