Boating in Boston at Spot Pond

Boating in Boston features gorgeous boathouses all across the greater Boston area waiting to launch you on your next kayaking, canoeing, sailing or paddleboarding adventure. The story actually starts in 2002, in our small New England hometown of Hopkinton, Massachusetts. That’s where a charismatic man named Barry began the boating vision by opening Outdoor Recreation of Hopkinton, a kayak rental concession in Hopkinton State Park. The word started getting around and the business grew and grew, bringing forth a community of water lovers. And soon Barry was introducing sailing and summer camps and boating season passes to the park.
