As life has slowly moved toward a more normal existence out of the pandemic, families are finding fun on the water this summer.
Darryl Ray, a Monessen resident, said it is tough to beat the possibilities at Greene Cove Restaurant and Marina in Clarksville.
Greene Cove is about an hour south of Pittsburgh and 30 minutes from Morgantown on a wake-protected harbor off the Monongahela River.
It is located in the Maxwell Pool of the river, which is 20.8 miles from lock to lock. The spot is conducive for water sports as well as recreational boating with five restaurants/bars on the water accessible by boat, including its own.
