In the middle of the quiet countryside of Fayette County lies Ohiopyle. This small town is the headquarters for "challenging the Yough." The Youghiogheny River is the main reason so many people flock to the town and the Pennsylvania State Park that bears the same name. Some come just to look at its spectacular falls. But others come to ride its rapids.
