Boat Rental around Pittsburgh (2009, park, place)

[IGGYlove]

I'm trying to plan my first 4th of July in Pittsburgh and would like to rent a boat if it's not too expensive. There aren't a lot of resources via Google, does anyone know of a place I could rent boats from? Boating up and down three rivers would be awesome.

Or are pontoons at Moraine State Park my only option?

Thanks in advance!

The regatta is going on that weekend.

It might not be a good idea to boat on the rivers as there are boat races and it will be really crowded on the rivers.

The Three Rivers Regatta is anything but. In the last few years not only have private boats been discouraged from coming, they have actually been prohibited. The map, above, shows that most of the river will be closed to traffic and mooring during the days of the Regatta and during the fireworks.

The Three Rivers Regatta is clearly intended for land-based spectators, not boaters, which is a shame.
