Kayaking Pittsburgh's Rivers - You don’t need to travel far for a lazy day on the water. And no problem if you don’t have your own boat. Kayak Pittsburgh rents boats on the Allegheny River on the North Shore across from downtown Pittsburgh. Deborah Weisberg provides this taste of a summer adventure.



Off the Beaten Path - For a summertime activity that takes you off the beaten path, try horseback riding. The Allegheny Front's Cindy Sullivan heads to Rolling Hills Ranch in Bridgeville, south of Pittsburgh for her first time in the saddle.
