SUMMARY:2024 Allegheny River of the Year Event - 4th of July Fireworks Paddle
DESCRIPTION:Fourth Of July Fireworks Paddle \nJoin us for a cool night paddle under the city lights on the Allegheny River as we watch Pittsburgh’s Fourth of July fireworks show light up the skyline! Previous kayak experience is required. Please arrive early to allow time to find parking.  \nThe start of the fireworks is scheduled for 9:35. We plan to be on the water and in a position to watch the fireworks by then. If time allows after\, and participants are interested\, we can continue kayaking on the water until the scheduled end of the program.      \nTrip Leader: Our trained Excursionists and Volunteer Trip Leaders all have night paddling experience. They will guide the group along the river before the show. Once a good spot is found\, the group will remain there to take in the fireworks! \nActivity level: Intermediate – We recommend participants have some paddling experience in the past. This does not need to be extensive\, not does it need to have occurred during the nighttime. However\, nighttime paddling has more variables so the previous experience will come in handy! \nWhat 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. Additionally\, since we will be paddling at night\, a light jacket might come in handy. Venture Outdoors will provide all the necessary kayak lights for nighttime operations. Participants can also bring a headlamp if they would like \nDistance: Participants should not expect to cover a long distance for this trip – likely between 0.5 and 1.0 miles overall. We will depart from the launch\, do some light paddling around the Point area (unable to cross the river to the Point due to the fireworks safety zone)\, and then remain on the water for the show.  \nStarting Location: The trip will depart from our launch at Heinz Quay on the riverwalk directly below Acrisure Stadium. The google maps link is below. \nhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/Jnsjfnye2rD3MuEx7 \nTicket Sales Close: Ticket sales will close on Thursday\, July 3 at 4:00 PM.  \nOther Information:  \nPlease arrive 15 minutes before the start time to ensure that the trip gets underway on time. Please be mindful of traffic and road closures that may occur due to the Pirates game. Parking may take longer than usual as well. We recommend parking at either the Champions Garage or the Red 5 Garage on West General Robinson Street. \nDress 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.

SUMMARY:2024 Allegheny River of the Year Event - Everybody Outdoors Series River Paddle
DESCRIPTION:EveryBody Outdoors Series: You Belong Here \nPeople of every size\, shape\, and weight deserve the chance to experience the amazing benefits of time spent outdoors with others. Venture Outdoors welcomes active folks in larger bodies to get outside this year through its series of size-friendly outings\, at a pace that is safe and comfortable for each person. Each trip listing will give you the information you need to decide if the outing is right for you: active time and pace\, general route and terrain\, and if any experience is needed. You can look forward to a variety of monthly activities throughout the year\, all in a positive and welcoming atmosphere in which we will celebrate all shapes and sizes. Join us for one outing\, join us for all. This is where you belong. \nSharpsburg River Paddle\nLaunching from Kayak Pittsburgh Sharpsburg\, we’ll take in the sights and sounds of the Allegheny as we head down the river and back. We’ll cover the basics of kayaking while also explaining how to safely navigate rivers while in a kayak. \nEfficient paddling focuses on upper-body and core strength\, which is needed to propel you through the water. The pace will be leisurely but paddling through river currents will test your strength and stamina! You will get wet from the paddle moving across the deck. \nSolo kayaks are best for participants 325-pounds or under\, while those 350-plus would be better served in a tandem kayak. Previous paddle experience is recommended. Kayaks and PFDs are included in the ticket price. \nIf cost is a barrier to your participation\, please e-mail alyssa@ventureoutdoors.org.

Get your tickets now! \nThe Allegheny River | The Ohi:yo’\nThe historic Allegheny River starts as a stream in Potter County\, meandering through a field of wildflowers before crossing briefly through New York and then through six counties in Western Pennsylvania. The 325-mile river ends in Pittsburgh where it meets the Monongahela River and flows into the Ohio River\, providing drinking water to more than one million people and acting as an ecologically and economically precious water trail. \nThe fertile valleys and abundant biodiversity have led many communities to call this place home\, including the O-non-dowa-gah (Seneca Nation) who call the Allegheny Ohi:yo’ (beautiful river\, the good river)\, the Lenni Lenape (Delaware Nation) who named it welhik-heny (most beautiful stream)\, and French settlers who referred to it as La Belle Riviere. \nA series of locks and dams were constructed in the early 20th century to make the Allegheny River navigable for barges to transport goods\, and now swimming\, boating\, and fishing are profoundly enjoyed by residents and visitors. The river includes the Allegheny Islands Wilderness\, a seven-island\, 372 acre preserve that boasts old-growth hardwoods and prolific bird populations. The US Forest Service has documented over 50 mammals\, 200 birds\, 25 amphibians\, 20 reptiles\, 80 fishes\, and 25 freshwater mussels in and around the Allegheny\, including the threatened Salamander Mussel (Simpsonaias ambigua)\, who help improve our water quality by filtering out sediment and pollutants. \nWhether you are bird watching\, island camping\, or traveling through the locks\, you are sure to find that the Allegheny River is rich with life\, history\, and beauty.
