Originally known as River Paths in the late 1970′s, the operations moved across the river and evolved into Riversport during the early 1980′s. Since the mid 80′s, Riversport has been a family owned business and premier instructional paddling school with a retail store located along the majestic Youghiogheny River in Confluence, Pennsylvania. We have a knowledgeable staff of ACA certified instructors, young National Geographic sponsored paddlers, professional ski instructors, and teachers that provide safe and positive learning experiences on the water. Our rental location specializes in recreatioYoughighenyn kayaks and relaxing rafting trips. The retail store staff are experienced paddlers that sell the best products.
