This is a 27 mile trail that follows the Youghiogheny River banks in the Ohiopyle State Park and is part of the Great Allegheny Passage that connects Pittsburgh, PA to Cumberland, MD. The trail features scenic views of the river, cascading feeder streams, and maturing deciduous forests.

Ohiopyle proudly houses two of Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic architectural wonders—Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob. These landmarks are especially captivating during the fall, when the brilliance of autumn foliage envelopes Wright’s masterpieces. To tour Fallingwater and witness its seasonal splendor, reservations are a must.

The confrontation at Fort Necessity in the summer of 1754 was the prelude to the war fought by England and France for control of the North American continent. The struggle was known in North America as the French and Indian War and spread around the world as the Seven Years' War. It ended in 1763 with the removal of French power from North America and India. The action at Fort Necessity was also the first major event in the military career of George Washington. It was the only time he ever surrendered to an enemy.
