bikers, hikers, and water enthusiasts. Annual events like the Over
the Falls Festival (August), Music in the Mountains (September) and
Winterfest (February) add to Ohiopyle’s vibe.
Ohiopyle is known for the scenic
Ohiopyle Falls and Youghiogheny River Gorge. Once known as Falls
City, Ohiopyle has been a tourist destination since the advent of
the railroads, when in the 1870s, excursions from Pittsburgh to
Ohiopyle and back cost only $1. Nearby
Fallingwater
is
one of architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s most acclaimed works.

does.
