The 10 best things to do with kids in Ohiopyle

We went after all the rain and the water levels were amazing. The trails to the falls are well maintained. We had fun climbing behind the falls and playing in the water. We can't wait to go back again.

Great easy-medium real with views of the fall and river. One could also do kayaking and rafting in the river. People enjoyed the serene views and dipping in the river.

Beautiful waterfall with some pools and plenty of rocks to climb on if you're so inclined. The stairs have some railings with caution tape, and there are some wobbly ones at the top so I wouldn't lean against for pictures or balance. I found the rock steps to be irregular in width and height and there were sections covered in mud and leaves that called for extra caution. We visited in early May and with heavy rains the water was not so high or fast to have prevented wading with two small children due to the many pool pockets created with the rocks. When we later visited Meadow Run, our main draw to the park, a local helpfully suggested Cucumber Falls because the slides were too fast.

The 30-foot bridal veil waterfall on Cucumber Run is easily reached from the Cucumber Falls Parking Lot on Kentuck Road. It can also be reached on foot by using the Cucumber Falls Trail or the Great Gorge Trail. The falls are in the Cucumber picnic area which has two picnic pavilions besides regular picnic tables.

Beautiful waterfalls with easy access from trail or from parking nearby. Can be crowded due to the ease of access however.

Beautiful falls, and a very easy short hike.

Hike to the bottom is fairly short but does include a lot of steps/hills. Water fall is very pretty. has parking lot has always had open spaces during every visit.

This was an amazing experience for my wife and I. Plenty of visitors and lots of chances for we Louisiana natives to vist locals, and visitors from all over. Weather was really nice, colors have started, the river was awsome. The buckwheat festival was on going. We also ran across a young lady getting married in the middle of the river. She had on white mech wedding train that was as cute as it could be. Icecream, pizza, and sandwiches what more could you ask for. Visited a 84 yr young woman with a history from out of a Movie storyline.

It's one of best state parks I have visited. It has something for everybody to enjoy. I went on a weekday so it was easier to find parking spots. I love the cucumber falls, viewing rock, natural slides and ferncliff area. I unfortunately didn't have time to try water rafting and would definitely try it next time.

I visited Cucumber Falls and had a little adventure crossing the creek to get as close as possible to the falls. It had just rained, so the ground was pretty muddy and slippery—which definitely made things more exciting! The waterfall itself isn’t huge or particularly unique, but the experience was still really fun. The natural beauty of the area and the small challenge of getting to the best viewpoint made it a memorable stop. A great little adventure if you enjoy the outdoors!

Pretty. Me and my dog did Ferncliff Peninsula trails. Trails nicely maintained. I should have taken a pic of trail info at beginning of trail. I did make a wrong turn and ended up taking a little more hilly, longer walk, and rocky trail. It was not too busy when I started about 10 am but by time I got back to parking lot lots people around. Plus parking lot full. Still fun and definitely will go back. Penny gives it 5 paws!

We take a yearly visit. Beautiful. We normally come to see the foliage. There's so much to do we never have enough time. Dont forget to sit. Relax, and see what God blessed us with while your here.

A really beautiful park that we kind of stumbled on to. It has a great visitors center abd beautiful overlooks for anyone who can't hike. The town is small but cute.

This was just a quick drive thru on our way to falling water. Visited the natural slides and the walk along the river by the visitors center. Apparently cucumber falls was closed for some reason. The parking lot entrance was cordoned off.

Nice State Park where you can walk next to the river and enjoy the beauty of the water rolling down the river. You can also walk across the bridge and walk right next to the water. They have a public restroom also. The visitor center has history about the area with informative displays.

My first time visiting here was in the winter ☃️when everything was beautifully covered in snow it felt like a peaceful winter escape. I loved it so much that I went back on Memorial Day, and the weather was perfect. We found a cozy spot near the waterfall and had a relaxing little picnic. It was such a lovely experience. We’re planning to go white water rafting here soon, and I honestly can’t wait to come back!🛶

These are very pretty waterfalls on the Tough. I don't believe anyone is allowed to raft or kayak this area though. There are lots of trails up here to walk to enjoy nature. I bet this place is crazy busy in the summer though with whitewater fans.

Beautiful environment very well maintained

Place was great would like to go back and visit more of the trails and some of the shops. The town is very touristy but seems clean and joyful. Lots of trails to hike on and the waterfalls are beautiful. You can rent bikes there to ride around or you can go whitewater rafting. Nice little building that is educational that you can go read up in the history of the river. Is a natural water slide there if you dare to brave it. Park was clean not alot of trash. Some of the waterfalls are very easy to get to and would be handicap friendly. Others kinda gotta walk or hike to a little bit. I believe they have some kind of zipline there to but from my understanding its not that big. Be a great place to spend the day or a weekend do have camping sites and hotels. Pretty nice bridges to check out and get a nice view of the river from. Very pet friendly place. Kids love it to. All kinds of stuff to do there go check it out!!!

Love this place! Spent the day with two families, including 4 kids under 9. They had a ball! Did the waterslides and the pools at the bottom, then hiked Cucumber Falls all the way out to the river. Wore water shoes, but hubby and I both slipped—be careful! Put your phone in a pouch. Have fun!

Easy to view from the provided observation points. If you time it right, you may even see kayakers plunging over the falls on their way down the river!

We always do well here, and in the summer, it is a wonderful place to swim and let kids play in the creek.

The coolest thing about Meadow Run is the natural waterslides. The cascading beauty of this unique geologic formation attracts geologists, photographers and recreation fun seekers. Explore Meadow Run’s ancient streambed to find ripples carved in stone and potholes scoured by spinning rocks and powerful currents. An ADA accessible observation deck is easily reached from the parking area.

Perfect place to take family photos by the river ❤️ Contact Lydea at Gold Light Photography Co.

Nice hike with beautiful scenery along the creek also some tree fossils along the path

Here's to the best park ranger in the business! Ian came to my family's rescue when our keys got locked in the car. Not only did he get the car opened but also waited to make sure we found our keys and got on our way safely! This park is a national treasure naturally but also because of people like Ian.

Follow this river up just beyond the rafting area is area 2 fishing you can walk this creek all the way down fishing the nooks and crannies. Enjoy

No need to see a Nat Geo or Discovery episode. Create your own here!!

Great trail that runs along the river and a small section of woods. The trees are tall and gives the area an open feel. It is somewhat tough to keep track of where you're at- the map at the start of the trail feels a bit lackluster and has suffered some damage through the years.

Nice, easy hikes. Beautiful river and valley views. Waterfalls and biking trail very close by.

Very beautiful and can hike right next to the river. Highly recommend. Was hiking for about 40 minutes but depending on the path you take it can be more/less. t Trail was well marked and beginners friendly.

I will hike clockwise. The hike along may take 40-50 minutes. Photos were taken in mid October.

Absolutely in love with this area!!!!! It is so beautiful and peaceful. The trail is amazing because it can be busy but you still feel like you have the earth all to yourself.

If you want to see Pennsylvania’s state flower -the mountain Laurel- take a walk down along the rocks and the water.

It is beautiful, just note that the trail is very poorly marked. You will find yourself off the trail on some random path quite often. The trail just ends at times

Great local place for food and brew in Ohiopyle. Seating is a bit limited inside, but that is fixed by using the outside patio. We ended up sitting with a local couple and chatted the time away. The staff were friendly and helpful. Food came out quickly and was delish. I got the Fish Taco and my wife got the grilled chicken sandwich. I got a Trail Maker beer which was a nice ale. Not too light with a little bite. This is within the Ohiopyle State Park. It is right next to the train tracks and at the end of Garrent Road. This is also the start of the Laurel Highland Trail.

Stopped in after a long hike in the rain. They welcomed my dog and me in the outdoor bar and let us sit at the bar so we wouldn’t get wet. They had 8 beers on tap, I tried 6 small pours. All 6 were local and tasty. The food menu had a great variety, it was truly very hard to decide, I might return to try more things on the menu! The brisket, broccolini and fresh cut fries were amazing! The brisket was so tender and the bbq sauce was delicious! And everyone is so friendly; you definitely get the small town vibes.

I love bringing my dog here - the food is always great and it is a welcoming environment. Our served Ritchey was super attentive, friendly, and helpful. My dog loved the chicken, shared it with her cousin. We will be back!

We did not expect to find such excellent vegetarian options in this small town. Often restaurants will have one option for vegetarians. Falls City Pub had many choices. It was clear someone had thought about how to offer excellent choices for everyone. It was hard to choose! Our food was delicious. When we arrived every inside table was taken, but we still received prompt and attentive service. In addition there was a great regional beer selection.

The restaurant is in a super cool location you can actually hear the river flowing nearby, and the train runs right in front of the building, which was awesome to see and hear while eating. It really gives the place a neat atmosphere that you don’t get everywhere. However, the service was a little slow and honestly kind of lackluster, and the food itself was just okay. It’s a BBQ place, but I’m from Texas… so my standards are pretty high. The brisket was pretty dry, more like thick bacon, and didn’t have much flavor it actually had that kind of old, reheated meat taste. Their BBQ sauce was good, though, and definitely helped bring some life back into it. The seasoned fries were actually really solid when they say seasoned, they mean it! Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience at all, just not my favorite BBQ spot, especially compared to what I’m used to back home.

Great casual place, huge portions of appetizers, cheese curds shown below. Redneck, not high class -shots served in throwaway plastic Dixie cups. Good place to kick back and be a redneck.

Was looking for a place to eat after hiking, and found this joint! Food came out extremely quick, we arrived before the dinner rush. Burger was one of the best I've had and the fries were crispy. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quick bite to eat!

Genuinely beautiful. The 3.1mile loop is so scenic, and I'd go here a million more times. Please go!

One week the falls are frozen, the next the water is flowing. Ohiopyle's Cucumber Falls is a place that you have to see at all times of the year. These photos were recently taken from a few of my weekend visits.

Mornings are best for parking and viewing. Quick trail down to Mill Run and Cucumber Falls. Depending on water flow levels you can get behind the waterfall.

I went in August and the weather was beautiful. The trail was relatively easy with some difficult patches. Not a very long trail but it does lead to cucumber falls. There were also nice little spots to stop and enjoy the water and watch the kayaks and white water rafting tours pass by.

Absolutely gorgeous! With recent rain, everything was soaked so the trek down the rock stairway was a bit slippery. With a little caution the view was totally worth it.

My wife and I were in Ohio Pyle when Hurricane Ida passed overhead 1 Sep 2021. These pictures show Cucumber Falls out of control. The air pushing out of the cave was strong it was hard to stand up.

Clean, beautiful and easy hiking!

Not nearly the view we were looking for, thought we went to the wrong spot bc the pictures police that everyone else posted definitely weren't taken here. There is a scenic overlook up the road a bit but it still isn't one of the ones in the photos shown here. The bathrooms don't have sinks and are pretty gross, so be warned. There's a lot of picnic tables and a Pavillion and a small playground, and a dumpster.

Beautiful. My son and Now Daughter-in-law got married there on Saturday. Oct 15 2022 Beautiful Day perfect weather

Great place for a picnic. This area stays open longer in the year than some of the other picnic areas in the park.

Great place spent the day with Donald kline ( brozz ) 2 days before he passed with Christy Haines We will make it back up!!! Miss you brozz

Very nice private area

Beautiful park. The overlook you can see the entire park

Nice location peaceful, great place to unwind.

Wilderness Voyageurs is excellent. We had 23 family members on this cycling trip. They arranged a custom trip for us so we could choose our own start date and starting location. They were able to arrange lots of single accommodations for us and we all had a blast riding. It is a dedicated bike path most of the way. Everything was perfect. Many thanks to Jason, Heidi, Rachel and Chuck for all of the attention to detail. They even helped us design our team jersey with the mountains we rode to on the back of the jersey. It was the Maroon Bells.

Wow, what a day! I dont know where to start and how to describe, I having trouble finding best descriptive way of how we felt! It was tremendously impressed us. Every pennies that we spent on worth on the moments. Collin was true leader and lifeguard, his analyzing skills, sixth of sense and pinch of humor definitely made our day! We had hit the rocks, we had run through on rapids, waves and hidden caves. We were acted like a team! We saved each other and meantime having fun! Will definitely go there again!

WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!! Wilderness Voyageurs guides are the best! They are skilled, fun and very knowledgable about the river. Our guide in the boat was John and he did a really great great job telling us about the whitewater rafting tips and funny stories. Safety guide Aiden was very entertaining during the safety lesson and on the bus ride back. We definitely will be back for another unforgettable white water trip!

Wilderness Voyageurs was amazing. Drop off into the water was quick and our guide Rob was great. He chatted us up the entire trip with tons of information about the river and surrounding area. He guided us like we were professionals and we had the best time hitting the rapids. Rob recommended other rivers to try out and test our mettle. Photos taken by the tour came out great too. (Photo: from Wilderness Voyageurs website)

This trip was amazing! Jeremy and Karl, our guides, were the perfect personalities to work with a diverse group of people. I loved everything we did! Even the hard stuff!

We just completed our first tour with Wilderness Voyageurs. We did the biking trip starting in Coeur d'Alene ID and riding for four days. This was an amazing trip. We had two great guides (thank you again Karl and Rob) who led us, fed us and did everything possible to make this fun. The structure of the tour made it very easy to interact and make friends of the other riders. We loved the variety in the rides, the optional side trips, the great lunches on the trails and of course the beautiful scenery. Every detail of the tour seemed to be well planned and well executed. We never felt rushed and always looked forward to the next day's ride.

We had an incredible time on our river rafting trip, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Scott. He was super helpful and clear with his instructions, especially important since we had two people in our group who were new to rafting. What really stood out was how calm and relaxed Scott stayed, even when things got a little intense out there. He kept the energy fun and light while still being in control. He knows the river! Thank you for a great time, we will be back!

Showed up 15 minutes before they closed they turned me in my three children away because it was raining

Would give 0 stars! Went in about 6:30, was going to get ice cream but needed a restroom. Young guy sent us to visitor center. Returned at 6:43, he refused to let us in, was "closed" he said. Told him we just wanted ice cream, he refused. Advertised hours are until 7:00 pm! Went to another place, it was packed, it was hot, they were very friendly and accommodating. Stayed past closing time to get all customers served! Funny how the place closest to the river and park had NO CUSTOMERS but 2 blocks away it was packed. 🤔

Simply the best ever ice cream I’ve tasted - it was AMAZING!! I did a wild card (for me) and went for salty pretzel and vanilla - Wow! Just Wow! The service was not good I have to say - no order to queues and so we had to butt in in the end to ask when we’d get attention - not good! On rare occasion for me this would certainly have been a 5 but service didn’t match the product

Wow talk about price gouging on the ice cream! Will not go there again. Don't bother.

the pistachio custard was something special.... my mother had a minor psychic vision after one bite (managed to capture on camera) .... very unique energy this place has....

I was unsure why all of the employees working were helping the customer in front of us instead of having one employee focus on one customer for maximum efficiency to get the long line down. Other than this, the ice cream was delicious. The root beer float was alright, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it. Just get a shake of a scoop of ice cream.

A lot left to be desired here. Has so much potential considering the area, festivals, and tourists. Has junky toys and run of the mill crafts. Would be nice to have a cool t shirt or hoodie.
