As I was walking along the downtown riverfront of Pittsburgh, yellow kayaks were sporadically appearing up and down the three rivers that surround the city center.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
After a quick search, I easily found Venture Outdoors<\/a>\u00a0next to the baseball stadium, filled out the paperwork of liability, and was on the water.<\/h5>\n
<\/a><\/h5>\n
The waters were calm, more so as kayakers had to stay out of the center due to it being a highway for commercial and private boats.<\/h5>\n
If you wanted to cross the river, you just had to obey traffic, then bust your butt and paddle like crazy to get across before a large steamer ship could potentially ruin your day by plowing you into oblivion.<\/h5>\n
<\/a><\/h5>\n
The cities many bridges taking on new appreciation as you find yourself underneath the mighty structures. The high rise buildings glow against the shimmering water from your new vantage point.<\/h5>\n
There is no better way to see Pittsburgh than from a kayak.
