Kayak rentals on Town Lake. They have a monthly event: "Best Friend Pooch Paddle - $20.00 per person; dogs paddle free. Spend the afternoon with your dog paddling Town Lake and connecting with other kayak and dog lovers. Come learn the basics of how to safely kayak with your "best friend". We provide rental of the kayak and equipment. All ages and abilities are welcome. Bring a rubber-backed rug for your dog for the event." These folks are very friendly and helpful! For the Pooch Paddle, they guide you as you paddle down the lake to a dog friendly park, disembark and let the dogs run and play, then paddle back to the rowing center. It's a great experience.
