Kayak
Lessons on
The Lower and Middle Yough
Kayaking is one of the most amazing sports of all time. Here at Ohiopyle there is a long tradition of kayaking, almost a birthplace of kayaking. The evolution of kayak moves and designs all have been worked out here. The greatest of the great kayakers have squirted, surfed or run the falls here in Ohiopyle. The water is clear and the eddie lines are good for taking kayaking to an advanced level of understanding. The instructors at Ohiopyle are all great boaters who have knowledge to share. We
offer Kayak lessons to folks interested in trying the
sport or for folks looking to sharpen or develop new skills
with expert instruction.
Our lessons include equipment (if you need it) and we
pick the right section of river based on you ability.
Choose from several formats or let us custom design a
program for you or your group.
Intermediates go to the Middle Yough
where they can practice in current learning eddy turns,
river reading, bracing, river rolling and more.
