Made for River Days.
Welcome to The Boathouse Stratford — where slow days, scenic views, and riverside memories come easy.
We’re a family-run business that’s been part of Stratford’s riverfront since 1965. Whether you're here for a paddle, a picnic, or something sweet by the water, we’re proud to help you slow down, soak it in, and enjoy Stratford the way locals do.
Enjoy Stratford’s only riverfront patio — BBQ, sandwiches, snacks, and ice cream, all served dockside
Rent a canoe, kayak, or pedal boat and explore the Avon River at your own pace
Hop on a bike and discover Stratford’s trails beyond the river
Take a scenic river tour and soak in the view without lifting a paddle
New this season: Picnic & Bike Packages — made for slow travel and local flavour
Every visit helps preserve a local tradition — and creates a few new memories of your own.
Paddle, cruise, dine, and unwind along Stratford’s most timeless shoreline.
We’re Back on the River !
Join us by the river for another season of paddling, cruising, and quiet moments along the Avon.
Hours will evolve throughout the season as summer settles in. As an outdoor experience, all hours are weather dependent.
