The One Magical Place That’s Like Pittsburgh’s Own Garden Of Eden
Meander along tree-lined paths, past breathtaking waterfalls, and high above acres of green. Southwestern Pennsylvania claims some of the most beautiful landscape in the country but one place, sprawled across nearly 21,000 acres, just might deserve the title of Pittsburgh’s Garden of Eden.

Embrace the stunning natural beauty of Ohiopyle State Park, a massive park a little over an hour from Pittsburgh that beckons adventurers, nature enthusiasts, and hikers.
Listen to the sound of Ohiopyle State Park's other waterfalls - Ohiopyle Falls and Johnathan Run Falls - as the water swirls and tumbles into picturesque pools of water.
Stroll along one of the nearly 80 miles of trails. Follow the markers for the half mile Oakwoods Trail, one of the park's easiest hiking trails, that will take you through a "mature hardwood forest."
Spend a leisurely day exploring Ohiopyle State park or spend a few nights camping out at Kentuck Campground, which features tents, yurts, and cottages.
Ohiopyle State Park promises plenty of adventure for visitors but it also provides the opportunity for quiet reflection and appreciation for nature's beauty.
