paddle boat
Foot-powered watercraft
A paddle boat is a small recreational watercraft propelled by pedals that turn paddle wheels, typically found at parks and resorts for leisurely trips on calm water: We rented a paddle boat and spent an hour on the lake.
The term also applies to larger paddle-wheel vessels—riverboats powered by steam-driven wheels rather than foot power.
