The first half of the ride out to the  Boat Dock in Needham passes through the Emerald Necklace, Olmstead Park, and the Arnold Arboretum before turning west towards Millenium Park at the Charles River. This route is recommended during the summer season when the Paddle Boston facility is open and available to rent kayaks to further explore the Charles River by water.
