Comments:
Sometimes you must experience a thing to "get it". White water rafting on the Youghiogheny River (or “Yough”, as it is popularly called - pronounced "Yok") in Ohiopyle, PA, is one of those things! Fully 20 miles of the Yough River runs through Ohiopyle State Park. It’s Pine Point’s fourth rafting trip and we are opening our invite to both well-seasoned rafters and newbies, as we're offering 2 two rafting options:

OPTION 1: LOWER YOUGH (no experience necessary)
This river section is a total blast! It involves Class 3 white water, which means fun waves and fast action is punctuated by easy meandering sections at regular water levels. First timers are welcome.

OPTION 2: UPPER YOUGH (experts)
Class 4 -5 white water action, meaning it is high intensity,

We are working with Ohiopyle Trading Post outfitter on this amazing trip.

ACCOMMODATION:
We will be staying in a gorgeous AirB&B: Marietta House. The house is situated on scenic Route 381 and is just five minutes from Ohiopyle State Park, fully furnished, fully equipped kitchen and includes high speed internet with WIFI throughout:
