Loeb Boathouse - Rowing in Central Park
 
Has anyone ever rented a row boat and rowed around the lake in Central Park? Is it large enough to enjoy for an hour or so?

I never rented a boat but watched others row while I sipped my ccktails. They were hilarious I don't think ayone that was on the lake tht day could row. It was like bumping cars. Some of the people just rowed in circles for well ovre an hour.<BR>It appeared large enuf to enjoy for a while.<BR>One of my favorite places to people watch on a sunny afternoon

As everyone says it's well worth it. Out of curiosity, does it need to last a full hour?

Thanks for the feedback. We will give this a shot.

Why don't you rent the remote control boats on the pond not far from there. Then go have a drink on the patio of the boathouse cafe and watch the other rowers exhaust themselves.
