Enjoy the best view of the Fireworks Show, from the waters of Shoreline Lake!
The Boathouse provides to Park visitors the most unique way in the Park (and the rest of Mountain View) to enjoy the fireworks – from a pedalboat, rowboat, canoe or single/double kayak in the middle of the Lake, with friends and family.
Although watercraft are not allowed on the Lake after sunset, Shoreline makes an exception for Independence Day. The Boathouse is now taking reservations for watercraft rentals, so you can escape the crowds and watch the fireworks from the water.
Online vessel reservations are available via Shoreline's booking system: Pedalboats $85, rowboats $85, canoes $85, double kayaks $60, and single kayaks $40. When reserving online you can also choose to add a wine and cheese platter for $40 (serves 2, choice of red, white or sparkling wine), or the Snack Pack option ($10/person – choice of hot cocoa, bottled water or soda; with an assortment of snacks).
Please Note: Boat rentals for the Fireworks viewing are available by reservation only. Given last year's high demand, and to ensure that everyone can take part in this experience, the last rental time is specially extended, so you can reserve your preferred watercraft for the viewing.
On July Fourth, regular rentals must be returned by 8:30 pm, to ensure patrons with reserved vessels can board first – starting at 9:00 pm. This makes sure you can get out on the water before the show begins and can enjoy the entire show from your vessel. Also, after the show, watercraft will need to be returned by 10:15 pm.
