Paradise Pond Boathouse

The Paradise Pond Boathouse is open for paddling in the Fall from September through October, and then again after Spring Break (closed summer and winter). We have an excellent staff of student instruction monitors that will teach you the basics. No experience is required (just a Smith OneCard) to use a kayak, canoe, rowboat or standup paddleboard (SUP). Rowing shells are also available but require a performance test to use. On campus use only. 

OPEN BOATHOUSE HOURS
Friday - 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Saturday & Sunday - 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.
(Open Fall & Spring/Closed in winter & summer)
