It was the best fun I have had this summer. Let's do it again! How about a world record attempt at the longest line of kayaks and canoes end to end? It could happen. Ignoring the rain, after the paddle I rode on the Just Ducky Tours and had a wonderful guide whom had a lot of interesting facts about Pittsburgh that I never knew despite being raised not far from the city. The Arts Festival was promising but I didn't stay long due to the lightning. Venture Outdoors rocks, Pittsburgh rocks, and again thank you for such a lovely day out. I will definitely recommend Venture Outdoors to everyone! Thank you SO much to all who organized the World Record event. It was the best fun I have had this summer. Let’s do it again!

If you'd still like to participate, you can <a href="http://www.paddleatthepoint.com/paddle-at-the-point-boat-rental/" rel="nofollow">rent a canoe</a> through us.

If you are bringing your own boat, we strongly recommend parking at the Monongahela Wharf. It's a short carry from your car to the river's edge. Parking is free. Venture Outdoors staff and volunteers will be there to help get everyone checked in and on the water on time. If you are renting a boat, please park in Heinz Field Lot 1 or 2. Parking is free. Click here for directions. Meet up with us at the ramp near the new Fred Rogers Memorial that leads from the open end of Heinz Field into the water. Venture Outdoors staff and volunteers will be there to check you in and help you get your boat and other gear and get on the water on time. Hi Macy,

This will help us to get an accurate count for the record attempt. Hi Donna,

Rental fees are being paid directly to these outfitters for use of their boats. Since this isn't a Kayak Pittsburgh event, Season Pass holders must still pay the fee. Kelly,

Also, we're not from the area, will parking be close to the put-in point? Thanks.
