This is on the South end of Lake Union. You can watch the Kenmore float planes come and go. They have a lot of classic wooden boats some are for rent. The lake is small and protected. It is a fun way to spend an afternoon rowing or sailing past all the house boats.

Free to walk around the docked boats and peek in the workshop. Small display gives a history of boating in the area. Friendly staff. Tons of activities if you have more time. They have classes and boatbuilding on site.

knowledgeable people, great appreciation for the art of boat building, serene location . . . . take out a boat and see the lake.
