Ohiopyle State Park, State park in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, United States.
The Youghiogheny River Gorge stretches across 14 miles through the park, creating multiple waterfalls and natural water slides among 20,500 acres of forest.
Native American tribes, including the Monongahela, Shawnee, and Lenni Lenape, inhabited the land before European farmers and trappers arrived in the early 1800s.
The name originates from the Lenape phrase 'ahi opihəle', meaning 'it turns very white', describing the appearance of the rushing waterfalls.
The park maintains 226 campsites at Kentuck Campground and offers over 100 miles of trails for hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking throughout the year.
The Youghiogheny River provides class III and IV rapids for whitewater rafting, making it one of the most challenging waterways in the eastern United States.
