About This Trail

Imported description

The trail leads to a part of Ohiopyle State Park. The Yough trail is north of Connellsville but the trail is a single line and close to this one. The trail now cuts through a lot of hillsides. The section also contains the other two bridges in a quick succession. These valleys over which the bridges pass have no scenic value at all. The trail goes into the wilderness south of that. Between Ohiopyle and Connellsville there are no trailside facilities.
