The Three Rivers Rowing Association is a community-based nonprofit rowing and paddling organization. Three Rivers Rowing Association owns and operates two boathouses on the Allegheny River just north of downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Lambert Boathouse is located on Washington's Landing (formerly known as Herr's Island), and the Millvale Training Center is located on the adjacent river bank. Each boathouse contains weight rooms, locker rooms, training rooms with ergometers (rowing machines), storage bays holding rowing shells capable of carrying one to eight rowers and dragon boats. The Millvale complex also houses indoor rowing tanks for training purposes.
