Butler Boathouse

Boating activities at Wellesley College take place at the newly renovated Butler Boathouse on Lake Waban, providing access to canoes, paddleboats, sailboats, and kayaks. Students, faculty, staff, alumnae, and their guests are welcome to participate in Open Boathouse hours during the designated times. The Boathouse is also home to Wellesley's historic Dorm Crew and Class Crew classes.

The Butler Boathouse is closed for Winter - Check back in after Spring Break for our Spring 2024 hours.

Please be advised that there is no swimming permitted from the small beach or docks at the Butler Boathouse.
