Float the Allegheny
Outfitter and area restaurants taem up to offer kayak rental and meal option
OLEAN - Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce has coordinated efforts to get more people out on the Allegheny River and then have some food once they are finished! “With news of a new launch site for the river in Olean and with the increasing number of kayaks and canoes on the Allegheny River, GOACC connected with its restaurant members and member Allegheny Adventures and launched the FLOAT THE ALLEGHENY promo,” reported Lisa Carpenter, GOACC Administrative Assistant.
Those interested in renting a kayak from Allegheny Adventures will come into the Chamber and purchase a Float the Allegheny certificate for $30. The certificate is good for a single kayak trip in the Olean area (retail value $25) with meal option at a local member restaurant (retail value $20) for $30.00 total. The recipient will receive $45 in rental/food for $30 – a savings of $15!
Once they have their certificate, visit Allegheny Adventure to schedule your rental/trip. Participating GOACC dining members include: Woodside Tavern on Range, 3319 W River Rd, Olean; El Sombrero, 315 N Union St, Olean; Rizzo’s Pizza, 76 S Main St, Franklinville; Four Mile Brewing Co., 202 E Greene St, Olean; Angee’s Restaurant, 475 N Union St, Olean; and Third Base Bar & Grill, 1302 W State St, Olean.
“The Allegheny Adventure company will drop off the rental to your start point and pick it up where you end – what a great concept!” said Meme Yanetsko, GOACC COO. “Many people cannot transport kayaks/canoes to the water – so this is ideal for those that want to partake and couldn’t in the past – now they can. Many people enjoy packages when you are out traveling aboard – this is available locally, what a great convenience - the rental plus enjoy some great food after your trip.”
While you are at the Chamber, pick up a Mileage on Waterways brochure. Created by GOACC, the brochure will give you an idea of how far you want to paddle and choose the most suitable location for them to enter and exit the river.
