The Youghiogheny River
A Powerful Playground
Nature

The Youghiogheny River and Reservoir stretch out below as a swift and mighty river that carves twisting canyons carpeted with lush evergreens, with refreshing waters plunging over cascading waterfalls. Its whitewater powers river rafters, energizes kayakers, and draws anglers for recreation and rejuvenation, while its placid reservoir provides a sanctuary for boaters, fishermen, and campers. More than shaping the landscape, the river creates a natural playground for everyone to enjoy.
