Join Friends of the Riverfront for 2025’s fourth Train on the Trail session!
American Canoe Association certified Instructor, Jamie Cortese, will lead an introductory level overview of kayak and canoe basics, foundational non-motorized safety, and general approaches to launching and paddling our Three Rivers! This event takes place during 2025’s National Safe Boating Week, celebrated locally by the Pittsburgh Safe Boating Council. Participants with their own kayak or canoes are encouraged to bring them; Friends will provide seats in one of our kayak, tandem kayak, or canoes for those that do not have their own! There will be both land and water components; registration will be limited to the first 15 participants.
The 2025 Train on the Trail series will offer enrichment opportunities for volunteers and trail users to gain introductory knowledge and skills that will benefit their trail experience, including native and invasive plants, watercraft safety, tree identification, and more!
An email will be sent the day before the event with details. Email Ashley Martin, Trail Stewardship Program Coordinator, with any questions at ashley@friendsoftheriverfront.org.
