Paddleboat or canoe, which to choose? Luckily, the rental is by the hour, and the owner allows you to change boats midstream. Our decision was to canoe the route to South Village Beach and change over to the paddleboat for the northerly trek to Swan Pond. The paddleboats can be electronically operated to help navigate the changing tidal currents, or you can switch over to manual and use foot power to propel you on your way. Single and double kayaks are also available.
