Being in Pittsburgh, we are surrounded by rivers. The Allegheny,
Monangahela, and Ohio Rivers are a 10 minute drive away. Due to the
dams,
however, the near parts are completely flat, with a hardly
noticeable current. A couple hours away, there are more interesting
rivers and streams, with good rapids, where you actually need to
think about avoiding rocks. :) The club currently owns a single
canoe, and no one in Pittsburgh seems to rent them out, so the
Allegheny trips have been small and included some club kayaks. In
the past, there have been larger trips to
far away corners of
Pennsylvania, where we could rent additional canoes.
Before it gets cold again this year, I would like to organize a
trip to the higher parts of the Alleghany, probably renting some
canoes from Allegheny Outfitters. If you're interested, join the
canoeing mailing list.
