Reserve Your Boat

Standard rentals at Zilker Park are walk-up and cash-only — no reservation required. But if you're coming on a peak weekend or planning around a specific time, a reservation request helps us prepare a boat for your crew.

Reservation requests help us plan for busy times, but you're never locked out without one. Come on down to Barton Creek — if boats are available, they're yours. Bring cash ($21/hr or $57 all day) and a valid photo ID.

Bringing a big group? Group reservations are accommodated during non-peak hours — we'd love to host you.
