It’s not so much what you see on the punt boat rides south of Larimer Square [2] along the Cherry Creek, as it is just the experience of riding on the water so serenely. A punt is very similar to a gondola. This is strictly a summertime activity and mainly in the evenings, 5–10 p.m., with candlelight rides starting at dusk. The rides are round-trip, unless otherwise arranged in advance.

Reservations are recommended, though there is sometimes a chance of availability for walk-up service to the kiosk on Larimer Street between Speer Boulevard and 14th Street.
