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.

SUMMARY:2024 Allegheny River of the Year Event: Three Rivers Waterkeeper's 2nd Annual Summer Kickoff
DESCRIPTION:Three Rivers Waterkeeper’s 2nd Annual Summer Kickoff \nJoin Three Rivers Waterkeeper at the Allegheny RiverTrail Park for a kickoff to the summer season and celebration of Pennsylvania’s River of the Year!

Those who pre-register here will get entered into our door prize upon arrival at the event. 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.

SUMMARY:34th Swatara Sojourn

A light breakfast\, lunch and snacks are included with your registration fee and you will learn about the geology\, history and ecology of this unique section of the creek. (Caves\, what caves?)
