After 6 weeks in quarantine, some time on the lake was much needed. Booked myself two one hour slots for this morning and it was amazing. The way the staff has adjusted their system to allow everyone to safely enjoy some time outdoors is awesome and they all were so friendly and helpful! The dock is quite close to the view of the city skyline and you can get there very quickly. Can’t wait for my next visit!

One of few places we found open all week during the off season! We Rented a kayak and a bag to keep our stuff safe, the whole process was easy and a fair price! We had an excellent time on the Colorado River thanks to Rowing Dock!
Came here with the hubby in tow from Houston. Considering the ongoing pandemic and all the people that were there, these guys rocked. Fast service, friendly staff, and most excellent time had!! The water at this lake is cool and refreshing and overall was an amazing experience!!! 10/10 would come again.

This place is amazing The staff are so nice will definitely be going back Had such an amazing time 👍👍

I’ve been going to the Rowing Dock for years and it’s always a great experience! The prices are very reasonable (only $20 for a double kayak!) and the staff is always very friendly. The location couldn’t be better with incredible views of the Austin skyline and the Westlake hills. A must-do for anyone visiting Austin!

Best customer service I’ve ever experienced. Ordered gift certificates not realizing that my address associated with PayPal was outdated. When I contacted Rowing Dock they went above and beyond to fix the issue that was 100% my fault. Received the gift cards today and I can’t wait to get on the water! Thank you! My partner is EXTREMELY happy with her gifts!
