Find Your Kind of River Day in Ohiopyle.

OHIOPYLE

One River. Three Unforgettable Ohiopyle Adventures.

Every stretch of the Youghiogheny offers its own kind of Ohiopyle river day. The Middle Yough is a scenic, unhurried float where your group can paddle together and take in the landscape. The Lower Yough brings lively rapids, shared excitement, and a professional guide in every raft. For experienced paddlers looking for a demanding day on the water, the Upper Yough delivers technical whitewater with expert guides.

These are distinct ways to experience the river, each memorable in its own right. Choose the one that fits your group, then return to your vacation rental to unwind, share the day’s stories, and enjoy more time together.

We gladly accept reservations year round for rafting trips March-October.

Please note: all minors must be accompanied by adults.
