City-run, our town's canoe center is a short walk down from the Springs in Zilker Park. For $7.75 an hour, or $28.50 for the day, you can paddle a canoe as far as your octopus arms can reach. Go right for the stunning cityscape, or left for the pastoral view. Pack a picnic, catch the sun just right, and sweethearts can't find a more enchanting place to listen to the murmurs of the heart.
