More infoNothing tests compatibility like pointing a two-person pedal boat at open water and negotiating who steers. Deer Lake Boat Rentals has run this experiment since 1972, and the pedal boats come with a small cooler nook, so bring drinks and drift. Afterward, ring the lake past the Art Gallery and Burnaby Village. Bring cash, bring layers, and adopt a forgiving philosophy about synchronised pedalling.
Rent a two-person pedal boat from Deer Lake Boat Rentals (from about $22/hour) and point it at the middle of the lake; the boats have a cooler nook, so pack drinks and a snack. Bring cash, a layer and humour about steering, and budget around 90 minutes. Afterward, ring the lake on the trail past the Art Gallery and Burnaby Village.
