Boating and Paddling

   
     
With lakes that stretch to Canada and thousands of miles worth of flowing rivers and streams, western Pennsylvania provides endless opportunities for boaters. Take a canoe down the National Wild and Scenic Allegheny River, float a raft through a series of whitewater rapids on the Youghiogheny, sail across Lake Arthur, or paddle a sea kayak out to the Lake Erie Islands. The city waters of the Three Rivers provide kayakers and rowers the pleasure of capturing Pittsburgh's skyline from an enlighteningly new perspective.
 
     

The Explorers Club of Pittsburgh has been on the water since...well, for a very long time! Rumor has it that ECP members used to make whitewater boats out of wood and other pre-plastic materials and run them down the Yough. They would trash up their boats and spend the next week repairing them for another run the following weekend. Now that's dedication to a sport!
