Pittsburg, PA ($145)*
Ranked as one of the best cities for kayaking by National Geographic Traveler, Pittsburgh's three rivers – the Allegheny River, Monongahela River and Ohio River – are hotspots for kayakers, paddle boarders and other water sport lovers.  Its vast waterways, more than 30,000 miles extending into New York and West Virginia, offer a number of scenic trails and opportunities to discover its equally diverse wildlife.
