Evening Paddle

Join us at our Kayak Pittsburgh Sharpsburg location for an evening on the river! As we paddle around this area of the river, we’ll take in the sights and sounds around this stretch of the Allegheny like Sixmile Island and the Highland Park Dam!

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 kayaking is not necessarily a “get wet” sport, you might get dripped on or splashed occasionally. It is best to wear clothes that dry quickly. Wear comfortable shoes that could potentially 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: This trip launches from our Sharpsburg location at James Sharp Landing. Parking is available in the parking lot. If the lot is full, parking is available on Main Street. The google maps location link can be found here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4iEUQttKFsV9BwYY6
