Ohiopyle High Bridge, Railroad footbridge in Ohiopyle State Park, United States.
The Ohiopyle High Bridge extends 663 feet across the Youghiogheny River, rising 115 feet above the water and connecting both sides of the state park.
Built in 1912 for the Western Maryland Railway, the deck girder bridge now functions as part of the Great Allegheny Passage trail system.
The bridge serves as an observation point where visitors gather to watch kayakers and rafters navigate the class III and IV rapids below.
Cyclists and pedestrians can access the bridge from the parking area near Route 381, following the Great Allegheny Passage trail northward for approximately a quarter mile.
From the center of the bridge, observers can view both the Railroad Rapids and the curved path of the Youghiogheny River Gorge through Laurel Ridge.
