Located in the heart of Forest Park on Post-Dispatch Lake, the popular Boathouse was fully renovated in June 2003, and recently updated in February 2023. The Boathouse now offers year-round dining opportunities, special event spaces and boat rentals.

After experiencing damage from the winter storm, The Boathouse decided to jump-start kitchen renovations originally slated for January. They plan to reopen when work is complete in February so visit their website here for more information.

Dining on the banks of Post-Dispatch lake is a part of our town’s history. Food and boating are natural companions, and The Boathouse at Forest Park has fed intrepid navigators since its construction almost twenty years ago. This year, the Boathouse is being reestablished as a place to fuel up and then cast off. Explore the 22 acres of waterways that wind around two islands, and are home to fish, frogs, dragonflies, egrets, kingfishers, and of course, our ducks.
