Early Morning Paddle: Kinzua Dam to AO
2026-06-15 06:30 - 09:30 (America/New_York) | Allegheny Outfitters, 20 Clark St Suite A, Warren, PA, 16365, United States
This one’s for all the early risers that like to “wake up with the Allegheny!”
We’ll meet at AO at 6:30 am to load up boats on the trailers and head to Kinzua Dam to start. After unloading and a quick safety speech, we’ll paddle roughly 9 miles back to AO, which includes the rowdy spot (Class I) behind United.
This stretch of river typically takes 3-4 hours with a leisure paddle. Bringing your own kayak is always welcome ($20 shuttle, free if you purchased your boat at AO), rentals are available if needed ($40/kayak).
Reservations required. Please click “Get Tickets” to make a reservation.
Hope to see you on the river!
