Barry's dream of boating in Boston has been realized. His business is now part of the thriving outdoor recreation industry in the area.

For parents who want to get out and explore the outdoors with their kids, Boating in Boston is a great option. It all started in 2002 in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, when a man named Barry opened Outdoor Recreation of Hopkinton, a kayak rental concession in Hopkinton State Park.

In 2005, the Department of Conservation and Recreation approached Outdoor Recreation looking to get something going at Spot Pond in Stoneham, Massachusetts. Today, that business is thriving, and Barry's dream of boating in Boston has been realized.

Outdoor recreation is a wonderful way to spend time with the family, and the Boating in Boston business is a great option for parents who wish to explore the outdoors with their kids. It all began with one man's vision, and now it has grown into a thriving business.
