The neighborhood was... - The neighborhood was beautiful, the ride was great, would recommend it as like a first date type activity with wine, was relaxing even though I was working those legs, just wished the water shooting up was illuminated.

Beautiful Dusk at Echo Park - Loved this experience. Had great help getting an elderly friend on board and we paddled around getting misted by the fountain as the sun went down and the colors of the sky turned gorgeous as the Canadian geese swooped by us and the city lights came on. We ate some dessert on the boat and made a few athletic circles around the fountain just for fun.

Lovely evening - Beautiful scenary at night. Wish they would open up the entire lake, because it gets a bit crowded in the area since 1/3 of lake is closed at night.

It was my friends first... - It was my friends first time on the swan boat and we both had a great time. I would recommend to go any other day than a Sunday night if you want less boats on the lake.

Fun for any age :) - We went as a family and shad a lot of fun. Paddling the boats was easy enough that we all took turns and were able to just drift for a bit when someone got tired. The only downside is the signs about bacteria in the water. It makes you a bit concerned when water from the fountain is blowing on you.

Room for improvement - There are signs surrounding the lake stating the water is contaminated with bacteria and to avoid contact with the water, but the fountains were emitting mist that was blowing into our faces. There were also vendors crowding the sidewalk next to the line to check in, and it was very difficult to find parking. We did get some nice photos of the city on the water. We said to ourselves, “Well, we’ll never do that again.”
