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 southern gateway to the Laurel Highlands. Passing through the heart of the park, the rushing waters of the Youghiogheny [yaw-ki-gay-nee] River Gorge are the centerpiece for Ohiopyle. The “Yough” [yawk] provides some of the best whitewater boating in the eastern United States, as well as spectacular scenery.
Ohiopyle State Park is part of the protection and advocacy for this region by participating in the Laurel Highlands Conservation Landscape Initiative (CLI).
The Youghiogheny River has exciting whitewater boating for all experience levels. Only constructed rafts, kayaks, and closed-deck canoes intended for whitewater use may be used in the river. River levels can change the difficulty of rapids. You will want to check at the launch area or contact the park office for current water levels.
The famous Lower Yough begins after the Ohiopyle Falls and flows seven miles downstream to the Bruner Run Take-out. This is the busiest section of whitewater east of the Mississippi River. You will get to see some great footage from this video!
The numerous class III and IV rapids make for exciting rafting that should only be attempted by experienced whitewater boaters.

Upper Youghiogheny River Rafting: Class V+ / Advanced
Experience extreme whitewater on the Upper Yough as you thread your way between 22 continuous pulse-pounding rapids, narrow twists and turns, and heart-stopping drops. Small custom rafts and a 3:1 guest to guide ratio help solidify your team as the challenges of one of North America’s classic class V rivers will exhilarate you and your friends. The river drops an average of 120 feet per mile through the gorgeous backdrop of our mountains. As everyone is an active participant in this incredibly fun “steep creek”, we recommend all participants have previous whitewater experience.
Middle Youghiogheny River Rafting: Class I-II / Beginner
The Mild Middle Youghiogheny is the family experience in Ohiopyle. Everybody participates in the fun as you paddle, splash and swim your raft or inflatable kayak along the 11 mile, scenic Middle Youghiogheny and through 10 mild class I-II rapids. Nothing says togetherness like a day spent rafting as you discover the wonders of nature during this introduction to whitewater.
Lower Youghiogheny River Rafting: Class III-IV / Intermediate
Every year, over 100,000 people visit Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania to paddle the Youghiogheny River. The Lower Yough is our most popular section in the Ohiopyle area for whitewater rafting, and for good reason.

15:36 That's MIke Murphy, famous Ohiopyle photographer, in the beard. Under the umbrella. And that might be Lilly, Trading Post family, on the left higher boulder. This is the Cucumber Rapids boulder field, pinch point, where boaters fly out of their rafts and boats, sometimes. If you ever shore line hike, like I do, these boulders at the Cucumber Rapids boulder field pinch point, are reachable in 10 minutes from the Cucumber Falls parking lot. These huge boulders have some of the coolest fossils in Ohiopyle. Incredible little area to boulder hop.

[@HowToHaveFunOutdoors]

That is awesome. Thanks for the FYI on the boulders. We will be back. We love OhioPyle! Thanks for watching How Go Have Fun Outdoors! We just did a video on Acadia. You will like that one also.
