Ohiopyle State Park
About
Water is available at the RV dump station. However, caution is advised for the year 2019 as the road is very steep. It is recommended that large RVs avoid this road and instead take PA 40 to State Route 2010 (Chalk Hill-Ohiopyle Road). From there, follow the road for 8 miles until you reach a stop sign. Continue straight to reach the campground. Additionally, please note that there is a bridge just north of the park on PA 381 with a maximum clearance of 12 feet 7 inches.

Fantastic state park with lots of amazing views & hikes available. There are some flat hikes or some rougher terrain hikes. Lots of water views to check out. There are cute little shops near the visitor center. You can walk to many spots or you can drive to the best areas.
Beautiful area for a hike or just to take in the majestic views of the area waterfall. My wife and I went here to hike an easier trail as part of a small weekend away, and it was a lovely time taking in all the nature. The trails were well marked and explained, and we enjoyed that though our trail wasn't an "easy" hike, it was very doable and there were options throughout to divert off onto other paths. The area is also nice, housing a number of restaurants and shops. Worth the stop if in the Ohiopyle area.
“Ohiopyle State Park”. If you're looking for adventure, this is the place. It's the best whitewater rafting destination in the East and has some of the most beautiful waterfalls (look out for Ohiopyle Falls). 🛶 For Adrenaline Junkies: The Youghiogheny River offers epic rapids. From the upper to the lower section, there's a challenge for every skill level. 🚴 For Cyclists and Hikers: The Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) runs right through the park. It's a perfect scenic ride. 📸 For Photography Lovers: Cucumber Falls and Baughman Rock Lookout are must-see spots for capturing breathtaking scenery.

We rode bikes from Ohiopyle State Park all the way to Confluence — it’s truly heaven on earth in the fall. The colours, the air, the peaceful river views… pictures can tell the story better than words. We went on a weekday, so it was wonderfully quiet with very few people around. Absolutely beautiful and serene
This was an amazing experience for my wife and I. Plenty of visitors and lots of chances for we Louisiana natives to vist locals, and visitors from all over. Weather was really nice, colors have started, the river was awsome. The buckwheat festival was on going. We also ran across a young lady getting married in the middle of the river. She had on white mech wedding train that was as cute as it could be. Icecream, pizza, and sandwiches what more could you ask for. Visited a 84 yr young woman with a history from out of a Movie storyline.
