List of Charles River boathouses

The Charles River in Massachusetts has a significant number of boathouses on its banks, from its mouth at Boston Harbor to its source at Echo Lake in Hopkinton.

Other boathouses belong to private clubs, some of which date back to the 19th century, while others belong to non-profit organizations dedicated to making the river accessible to the public for various types of boating.

There are a modest number of for-profit boathouses that offer public boating services on the river above the Watertown Dam.

The biggest event of the year involving the boathouses is the Head of the Charles Regatta, held every October.

The houses see usage nearly year-round, weather permitting and pending the icing over of the Charles in winter months.
