Since 1893, Stow Lake Boathouse has been letting visitors show themselves a good time in the heart of Golden Gate Park. They provide guests with row boats, pedal boats, and even electric boats for cruising around Stow Lake, the manmade body of water that surrounds scenic Strawberry Hill. While traveling these still waters amid lush greenery and towering trees, guests might glimpse the local wildlife, awe-inspiring waterfall, or even the Japanese pagoda. To help guests refuel after all that rowing, pedaling, or static-electricity-generating, Stow Lake Boathouse's cafe serves up a menu of quick bites, which run the gamut from burgers to hot dogs to paninis.
