Meadow Run Natural Waterslides
Meadow Run has carved two natural slides into smooth sandstone. In summer, you can sit and slide down into the pool below, Ohiopyle's most popular water spot.
The Meadow Run Natural Waterslides lie about 3 km southwest of Ohiopyle, beside Route 381. The river has carved two smooth natural chutes into the flat sandstone bed. Visitors sit down and slide into the pool below, a favorite of both adults and children. Wear sturdy swimwear or shorts, since the rock can wear down clothing, along with water shoes with good grip. When water levels are high, the park issues warnings, so do not take risks. From the parking lot, it is a five-minute walk along the Meadow Run trail. Admission is free, but summer weekends are very crowded.
