Swan Lake
Swan Pedal Boat Echo Park Lake
There's always something going on in LA's Echo Park, including on their namesake lake, which these days could also perhaps be called Swan Lake.
Find a co-pilot and rent a swan pedal boat on Echo Park Lake. You'll need a reservation.
We like the sunset start (night option) where the swans are aglow on the water. Enjoy LA's downtown skyline on your LED-lit love chariot as you make laps around the oasis.
If it's hot, circle the fountain in the center of the lake for a refreshing spritz.
Linger awhile to admire clusters of colorful water lilies and lotuses right under your nose. Say hello to the groups of turtles who bop their heads up as they swim by, and watch as ducks hitch a ride in your wake.
No dogs on pedal boats.
