Charlie and I rented a canoe at the Waterfront Activities Center (next to Husky Stadium) after dinner last week. You can canoe underneath the 520 bridge, through lily pads and into lagoons and jungles. It was adventurous and super fun! We only had an hour to canoe because the rental office closes at 8:30 p.m. (not 9 p.m. like it says on the website), but it was enough time - we had a lot of fun and didn't feel too rushed. Plus, being on the lake with the sun going down was completely gorgeous.
Parking: there's construction in front of the Waterfront Activities Center building but you can turn off Montlake just south of the stadium and follow the make-shift road to the parking lot. Costs about $5.00 an hour to park, but there are side streets on the southeast side of Montlake Bridge where I think you could find parking for free and just walk over to the bridge to the building. Follow signs to the canoe rental window and you should be good to go!
COST:
Canoe rental for one hour: $5 with UW student discount, $8 without
Parking for one hour: $5 to park in front of the building
