Ok lets see were I can start here...Ok Pittsburgh PA 4 Rivers in the region and at least 4 major locks that I know of. On the allegany river there is the offten fatal mistake of boaters who come too close to the dams and go over and drown. Some have even tried to jump the dams with there speed boats rather then lock thru!!No word on if this unothodox method has worked :-),,,,We have a lot of high speed boats on the ohio with no speed limits( THERE ARE SOME near marinas) Mixing with barge traffic and that can cause problems
