Western Pennsylvania Solo Canoe Rendezvous

Cooper’s Lake Campground 205 Currie Rd, Slippery Rock, PA

The Western PA Solo Canoe Rendezvous is a gathering of solo canoe enthusiasts held always on the first full weekend of June each year at Cooper’s Lake Campground near Slippery Rock PA. It features various manufacturers and designers of solo canoes with demo models of their boats available for test paddling; demonstrations of, and informal instruction in FreeStyle paddling; assorted programs on various aspects of canoe design, construction, and use in the real world. It is a deliberately laid-back, relaxed, and informal event – very much made up as we go along. It is an opportunity to immerse yourself in solo canoes and canoe folks for a long weekend to the exclusion of all other reality.
