Want to expand your river navigation skills by learning to lock through one of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Lock & Dams in the Pittsburgh pool?
Join Friends of the Riverfront and Venture Outdoors on the Three Rivers Water Trail for the first 2025 lock through paddle experience!
We’ll depart from Natrona’s Three Rivers Water Trail Launch and lock through Lock #4 before paddling around Jacks Island and then finishing our paddle back at the launch.
This session is designed for paddlers at an intermediate experience level. All paddlers should have some experience paddling a kayak on their own and a basic knowledge of river safety.
Before getting on the water, we will discuss safety, the process of Locking Through, and explore a bit of the science around how locks work.
You may bring your own kayak to this event; please mark your ticket accordingly so we know how many boats to provide. Questions regarding the event should be directed to Katie Craig at Katherine@friendsoftheriverfront.org Rental Cost: $25 pp Class Instruction: $25 pp
