Open water rowing in the heart of Dallas
The White Rock Boathouse, Inc. is a non-profit corporation, with a mission of introducing recreational rowing to Dallas. “Headquarters” is the beautiful 1930’s era boathouse at T & P Hill at White Rock Lake in the heart of Dallas, Texas. The organization has restored the boathouse for rowing scull storage and launching. Our focus is on open water rowing as a recreational and endurance sport.
We offer memberships which provide access to the Boathouse’s shared boats. We also provide rowing lessons, enabling even beginners to enjoy the sport in only a few days of lessons and practice.
The Boathouse owns a number of shared boats, predominantly single, open water shells and skiffs. A few doubles are also available. These boats are available for use, by reservation, by any Boathouse member.
Competitive opportunities are available to members, including the annual Pumpkin Head O’ the Colorado, around Halloween, in Austin.
The Boathouse also promotes rowing as a sport in local high schools, including Bishop Lynch High School, Woodrow Wilson High School and 24 other area schools. More information is avalable on our high school programs at the WRB Juniors website.
