Traveling with Deals: PA Waterfalls

Ohiopyle Falls - PA

There's a great hike around the Ohiopyle Falls, near the Visitor Center in Ohiopyle city. I wish we had time to hike around Ferncliff Peninsula there, but we were tired & had already hiked a lot.

Here are the views from near the parking lot.

Here's a link to good directions.

Jonathan Run Falls & Hike - Ohiopyle, PA

This was probably my favorite hike in Ohiopyle. I wish I had taken better notes on the hike before we started because again we didn't have a signal to look at a map.

It was very muddy. A few of the hikes down to the falls weren't the best. I was glad I had my trekking poles.

There was one hike down to the Lower Jonathan Run falls that I passed on because it was so muddy. Here's the picture from the top.

Some other hikers told us about Sugar Run falls at the end of the hike. We hiked past the falls to the GAP bike trail. We took a left & it was just a little ways down on the left.

Here's a link to some good directions.

Meadow Run Natural Slides, Flat Rock, & Cascades - Ohiopyle, PA

This is a "lollipop" hike - a straight hike with a loop and the back down the "stick". It wasn't well marked & we ended on cutting off part of the loop. It was getting late, so we ended up coming back the next morning for the Cascades. Glad we did, but realized we had been really close the day before. There was no signal to look at maps on my phone.

Cucumber Falls - Ohiopyle PA

There's not a lot of parking for the Cucumber Falls, Recommend going early in the morning or end of the day. It can also be combined with other hikes in the area.

View from the top of the hike, steps from the parking lot.
