    View of the river from the canoe

    I love hazelbakers. Always a good time. My boyfriend and came the past two summers. Last summer we did the Dawson to Layton trip and this past summer we did the Connellsville to Layton trip. Very relaxing and fun day on the Yough river. But the Dawson trip was plenty. The Connellsville trip was long and it took us around 6 hours to do. We took our time and fished and stopped frequently to enjoy scenery. After two good experiences we decided we want to make this a summer tradition.

    Took a group to Hazelbakers and got a really nice thank you note in the mail a fee days later!

    We bring a group here every year for a float trip. Some of us have kayaks and the rest rent a variety of single person kayaks, tandem kayaks, and canoes. They shuttle you up the river and you float back. Pack a cooler with lunch and drinks but please don't litter as there is a garbage can at the end to dump your garbage. The float is great with plenty of places to stop and swim. Don't go on the rope swing unless if you want to leave in an ambulance... seriously don't! It's not on Hazelbakers property and was put up poorly by locals.

    A great day on the river. All went smoothly. I highly recommend this canoe trip for a wonderful peaceful day and Hazelbakers made it easy.

    Recently used this outfitter for some white water rafting during a bachelor party weekend. Guides…read morewere awesome, friendly and the process was easy. Would definitely recommend.

    TL;DR: everyone stayed safe and had fun!…read more Our family did this as an activity on vacation. It was easy to book online, and thankfully the weather was beautiful. What could have been better: communication about what to bring or not to bring (yes to a way to secure your glasses, no to water bottles or a dry bag for water /snacks /sunscreen); where to park (across the bridge near the beer store or at the public park); and that the "snack" after the trip is a full meal (pulled pork, hot dogs, sides). The restroom-changing facilities are fairly primitive on site (women's side includes a single curtained toilet, single shower stall, a chair behind a screen, and an open area with a bench, a chair, and an uncovered window that overlooks the take-out site). What was great: the emphasis on safety, quality materials, communication between the team members, THE RAPIDS. My favorite one was whatever one we had just finished. I never buy the ride photos, but I did this time because we wanted to commemorate a great afternoon, and to reward the team for good work. Two fit 70-year-olds were able to do this with their 30s to early 50s children. Can recommend!

    Fun night on the water! Finding the Venture Outdoor downtown boat launch was easy with their…read moredirections (below the Convention Center). Note: there is no restroom on site. Our guides Matt and Sophie were wonderful. They reviewed the mechanics of kayaking including posture of straight torso with loss hips. They gave a safety briefing and made sure our life jackets were properly secured. And then we hit the water in time to enjoy the sunset. Their rental equipment (kayak boats, paddles, and life jackets) is in great condition. And for the night paddle, the kayaks were outfitted with glow stick lights (in addition to the required standard boat green/red lights). There was other River traffic but there was only one wake encountered during the whole two hours. I'm a beginner level kayaker and it was an easy paddle for just the right duration. Tip: if there are two of you together, I advise getting your own kayak so see more of each other and don't have to coordinate your strokes). There was a Pirates baseball game that night and it was cool to hear the roar of the crowd. The route that night also included The Point waterfall and the Science Center submarine. The only thing that could have made this outing better is if the Pirates had won and we could have watched the celebration fireworks from the water.

I recently had a…read morepretty rocking birthday weekend full of wonderful places to fill this slot but I had to go with one that truly embodies my physical lifestyle, so naturally I had to choose Kayak Pittsburgh. Being a newbie I wasn't sure what to expect, other than I was pretty sure it was going to be awesome. The prices to rent are very affordable and definitely worth the experience. We didn't spend as much time on the river as we would have liked to, do to some upcoming reservations later in the day, but now that I have gotten a taste of it I am dead set on going back as much as I can. We started by heading up the river, but there are much more scenic views down river. Cruising down past the stadiums than over to the point to get a victorious picture of me hoisting my oar in front of the fountain. Such a wonderful way to see the city. Since we were on a tight schedule there wasn't much time for relaxing so it was basically nonstop paddling. This is a serious upper body workout. Heading back up the river was challenging at times, but still so much fun and a great workout! Can't wait to go back.
