Allegheny River Dragon Boating, August 21,2009 | 6:00 p.m

If you have never seen the Allegheny River or the downtown skyline from a bench on a dragon boat, you've missed a great experience! Dragon boating, which is a world-wide sport, is also a fun way to be out on the river with no expertise or special equipment. The long wooden boats have ten benches for twenty paddlers, along with a drummer and steersman, and, unlike the narrow rowing shells, are very stable in the water. Rowers went for a sunset paddle with the paddlefish, enjoying great river views.
