North Park is absolutely incredible! My husband and I have only been here twice - just to kayak - but we're intrigued by how big the park is and can't wait to come back again soon and explore more of it. However, the kayaking alone makes it worth it to come here. Though some of the Kayak Pittsburgh employees (or kids, really) are a bit young and inexperienced and frustrating, once you're on the lake, all of that frustration melts away. Kayaking here has become my husband's and my favorite summer activity and is well worth the 30-40 minute drive for us from east of the city. I can't wait to return many more times this summer.
