\We’re putting Pittsburgh’s watershed on the map by setting a new World Record for the largest kayak and canoe flotilla on Saturday, June 5 – World Environment Day!
Paddle at the Point
Saturday, June 5 is World Environment Day and Venture Outdoors and its 30 plus outdoor partners are taking over Pittsburgh’s three rivers in an attempt to set a new Guinness World RecordTM for the largest kayak and canoe flotilla in the world. 1,200 kayaks and canoes are needed as we set a mark at the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers to beat a record that was previously held by long time arch nemesis Cleveland!
Don’t have a boat? Don’t worry. Sign up early and rent a kayak from Kayak Pittsburgh before they’re all gone. We’ll need everyone and anyone, clubs and groups welcome! Parking will be offered for free on the North Side and we’ll shuttle your boat to the landing for launch. Be part of history in the making and celebrate World Environment Day in Pittsburgh with Paddle at the Point!

Hi Angela,
You can reserve a boat by visiting our payment page at paddleatthepoint.com/paddle-at-the-point-boat-rental. It will be available for you on the day of the event at Heinz Quay, the ramp near the new Fred Rogers Memorial that leads from the open end of Heinz Field into the water. Park for free in Heinz Field lot 1 or 2.
Hi Matthew: You can be a big help by spreading the word! You can find materials for getting the word out at http://www.paddleatthepoint.com/spread-the-word/
