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.
All night ride swan boats come equipped dazzling LED lights. Our large swan boats feature a roomy back seat for those that would like to forego pedaling and would prefer to just enjoy the view.
You are welcome to bring food and drinks on board the swan boats (no alcohol is permitted).
Duration: 1 hour
The fun doesn’t stop when the sun sets – it’s just getting started! Join us after dusk for a once-in-a-lifetime evening swan boat experience. We light up our iconic swan boats with LED lights that add a little after-dark sparkle. But the real magic is found when looking back at the Los Angeles skyline from the peaceful glassy water.
For safety, all boaters receive boating instructions and must wear Coast Guard approved life vests.
