Description
Located at the southern reaches of the Laurel Ridge, Ohiopyle State Park encompasses approximately 20,500 acres of rugged natural beauty and serves as the gateway to the Laurel Highlands. Close to major metropolitan areas and offering vast choices of activities, Ohiopyle State Park attracts millions of visitors annually. Passing through the heart of the park, the rushing waters of the Youghiogheny [yawki-gay-nee] River Gorge are the centerpiece for Ohiopyle. The "Youghiogheny" [yawk] provides some of the best whitewater boating in the eastern United States, as well as spectacular scenery. Don't miss out on the natural waterslides either. For bicyclists, there are 27 miles of the Great Allegheny Passage in the park. This Great Allegheny Passage connects Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Cumberland, Maryland. Ohiopyle is the southern gateway into the Laurel Highlands and represents the beautiful natural resources and unique sense of community that visitors can find throughout the region.
