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 second 2025 lock through paddle experience, beginning and ending at the Harmar Fish and Boat Launch!
This event will be longer than our other lock-throughs: an anticipated 4 – 4.5 hours. The event includes a tour of Allegheny Island State Park with DCNR.
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.
A snack bag and water bottle will be included. This event includes a shuttle service that will begin at 9 AM in the Harmar Fish and Boat Launch Parking lot. 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.orgLock through course AND kayak rental – $125.00
Lock through course ONLY (B.Y.O.B) – $85.00
