Ohiopyle State Park
A state park in the Youghiogheny River gorge, where whitewater rafting, Cucumber Falls and natural rock slides attract visitors in summer.
The park surrounds the gorge of the Youghiogheny River. Near the town of Ohiopyle in the middle section is a wide river waterfall. The rapids downstream are a well-known rafting stretch in the eastern United States, and you can sign up for half-day or full-day trips. Cucumber Falls drops about 9 meters from the rock wall, and you can walk behind it. The natural rock slides at Meadow Run are very popular in summer. The Great Allegheny Passage bike trail runs through the park, and you can rent bikes to ride it. Entry to the park is free, and it is only about 10 minutes' drive from Fallingwater.
