Evening Paddle

Join us at our Kayak Pittsburgh Downtown pop-up location for an evening on the river! As we paddle around the city, we’ll take in the sights and the sunset!

Trip Leader: Our trained Excursionists and Volunteer Trip Leaders will introduce participants to the equipment, provide a safety talk, and then safely guide the group on the water

Activity level: Beginner – no experience required! This paddle does take place on the Allegheny River. The current at this stretch of river is usually not very strong, but if you are a new paddler and would rather paddle in a body of water without a current, check out our paddles at North Park!

What to Bring: While nobody plans to tip their kayak, it could still happen. You also might get dripped on or splashed occasionally. It is best to wear clothes that dry quickly. Wear comfortable shoes that could potentially get wet. Anything you take on the water with you can get wet!

Distance: We’ll cover roughly 1.0-1.5 miles round trip. Expect to spend about 1.5 hours or so on the water. 

Starting Location: The trip will depart from our launch at Heinz Quay on the riverwalk directly below Acrisure Stadium. The google maps link is below. There is a Pirates game this evening. Please be mindful of traffic that may affect your arrival to the location. We recommend parking in the Science Center parking lot or one of the parking garages on General Robinson Street.

Ticket Sales Close: Ticket sales will close 24 hours before the event time.

Additional Information: 

Please arrive 15 minutes before the start time to ensure that the trip gets underway on time. Dress for the weather (Venture Outdoors trips proceed rain or shine!), bring water and wear comfortable closed toe shoes. By purchasing a ticket, you acknowledge that you are physically able to undertake the activity described above.
