Echo Park Boathouse

When the urban madness gets too much, find Echo Park's endearing Beacon boathouse cafe and its docks where you can pedal your own boat by the hour on the glassy lake. On weekends, options usually also include one-hour canoe rides or 30-minute gondola rides, a la Venezia. It's perfect on a sunny day and a guaranteed hit with the kids.
