Welcome to Key Bridge Boating

Enjoy kayak rentals this summer at the Ball Park Boathouse.

Ballpark Boathouse is now closed for the season. We will be up in running again in April of next year. Thank you to everyone for supporting us in our first season on the Anacostia! We look forward to 2014. 

Ball Park Boathouse is a great place to paddle and explore from a kayak in Washignton, DC. On Friday nights there are free movies showing at Yards Park that you can watch from the water, enjoy a kayak before a game at Nationals Park or just come down to paddle a kayak around.

We are open Fridays from 2pm to sunset and Saturdays and Sunday from 11am to sunset. Last boat goes out 75 minutes before sunset. 

Come down with your friends and experience something new...

How Much Will Your Kayak Rental Cost?

We work on a 1 hour minimum, but if you're having so much fun you don't want to come in, then you can rent in 15 minute blocks (charged pro-rata when you come into shore).

If you want a kayak for the whole day, so you can come out and go in whenever you please; we charge just 4 hours. It's a bargain!
