North Park Lake Introduces Flatwater Rescue Training for Kayakers
North Park Lake is offering a new flatwater rescue training course aimed at helping kayakers build essential safety and emergency response skills. The three-hour intermediate program is open to participants aged 13 and older and focuses on practical rescue techniques in a controlled environment.
Conducted on waters similar to those at North Park Lake, the course emphasizes hands-on learning rather than distance paddling. Participants practice self-rescues, assisted rescues, and towing techniques both on land and in the water near a designated training area.
Instruction is led by experienced Kayak Pittsburgh Excursionists certified under the American Canoe Association’s Level 1 curriculum. The training also includes swimming skill reinforcement and familiarization with essential rescue equipment to ensure a well-rounded safety foundation.
Organizers provide all necessary rescue gear, while participants are encouraged to bring their own seaworthy kayaks if available. Attendees are advised to wear quick-drying clothing, closed-toe shoes, and arrive 15 minutes early for check-in. The course is designed to strengthen confidence and preparedness under professional supervision.
