We were walking around the park of Chapultepec when we came across the lake. They have paddle boats…read moreand row boats that fit up to 5 people. The 5 person row boat with a shade was 200 pesos an hour which I thought was a great deal. We didn't see the entire lake, but it looked pretty big. On Saturdays they have lots of stands that sell souvenirs, snacks, food, and drinks. I would recommend checking it out if you're in Mexico City.

The trail is gravel at some point, so a lot of it is not the best for wheelchairs (see photos). There are wheelchair accessible bathrooms here. Go to the first ones you see because those are free..once inside, you have to pay.
