Boathouse Facilities

The White Rock Boathouse facilities include three buildings on the southwest shore of White Rock Lake.  All of our facilities have been leased from the city and are managed, maintained and administered by the staff and board of White Rock Boathouse, Inc.  These facilities give the People of Dallas access to White Rock Lake for year round recreation and social outings.

The Boomerang

The Boomerang is the beautiful 1930’s era boathouse at T & P Hill at White Rock Lake. The organization has restored the boathouse for rowing scull storage and launching.  The Boomerang was home to all White Rock Boathouse operations 2004 - 2008.  The building houses all of the recreational boats for the club, private boats and all of the launches that are used by the programs that row out of the new boathouse across the cove.  This is the primary staging area for the recreational rowing. It is also where the Boathouse provides kayak and canoe storage.

White Rock Boathouse

 

 

Since the completion of our renovations of the Filter Building and sedimentation tanks in August 2008, our main operations have been moved to the new White Rock Boathouse.  The new boathouse is 300 feet by 75 feet and currently houses over 50 boats in three separate bays with room to house more boats.  This facility is now home to 6 different programs, Southern Methodist University’s Women’s Team, Southern Methodist University Men’s Team, Jesuit Crew, Dallas United Crew, White Rock Boathouse Juniors, and the White Rock Boathouse Masters.  All of these programs work together to maintain the boathouse grounds and work to grow rowing within Dallas and the state of Texas.

The Filter Building

Atop the southwest shore of White Rock Lake, the historic Filter Building has beautiful terraces and sweeping views that take your breath away. During our remodel we preserved the urban industrial style of the 1920’s, The Filter Building features exposed red brick walls, original iron trusses, and many windows overlooking White Rock Lake. The Filter Building serves as a rented events building for the organization as well as our offices.  The Filter Building is a perfect site for weddings, business meetings, reunions, parties and more.
