Ohiopyle is an Indian name meaning "white frothy water" or "beautiful falls." Millions have had love affairs with these falls and the Youghiogheny's rapids over the centuries, myself included. It is the energy excuding from water that moves quickly, and splashes our souls with its undeniable power.
Each year over 2 million visitors view the Ohiopyle Falls and enjoy the outdoor recreation (hiking, bicycling, swimming, rafting, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, sight seeing, etc.) offered throughout
Ohiopyle State Park and on the Youghiogheny River there.
As you enjoy the park, check out the amenities the secluded mountain village offers. Guided raft tours down the Upper, Middle and Lower Youghiogheny, the Bike/Hike Trail, hiking trails throughout the park, fun eateries, taverns, a coffee shop/local artist gallery, ice cream parlors, bike and equipment rentals and more.
