About This Trail

A short, accessible walk leads to overlooks of the dramatic Ohiopyle Falls, where the Youghiogheny River drops 20 feet across a wide ledge of sandstone. The viewpoints sit directly above the Class V whitewater that divides the upper and lower river sections. Benches and interpretive signs make this an easy stop for all ability levels.
