OUR HISTORY


White Water Adventurers, Inc. was founded in 1969 by an Ohiopyle family, Robert and Shirley Marietta. In the early years, the guests on the river were few and far between and the guides were just locals that grew up on the river. Through word of mouth, rafting on the Youghiogheny (or Yough for short, pronounced “Yock”) gained a following and White Water Adventurers grew with it, along with its reputation for fun and exciting rafting trips.

Our office, was built around the childhood home of Robert Marietta, and is located in the heart of Ohiopyle. When the company began to grow, more space was needed for the office and the new T-shirt shop, but in the way of the new construction stood Robert’s favorite tree. Instead of removing the old tree, the T-shirt shop was built around it. This began our long tradition of caring for the environment that still holds true to this day. In 1996, Robert recognized the need for appropriate overnight accommodations in the town of Ohiopyle. He and his staff began construction on the Ohiopyle Suites. The ten-room and five-suite complex has allowed guests of the region to stay in clean, comfortable accommodations in downtown Ohiopyle.

Each year, thousands of visitors experience the thrill of rafting with White Water Adventurers on the Youghiogheny River.
