I almost bought the farm at the confluence of the stream that flows through Falling Waters and the Youhioghenny river.
That confluence occurs at “Dimple Rock Rapids” which is a class 4 whitewater rapid.
We hit pinball rock and went right into dimple rock where the raft high sided and dumped me.
Last thing I saw was my son throwing the handle end of a oar to me and yelling DAD!!!!
I suggest every one go experience the Area.
The Falls stumped George Washington LOL
Absolutely a beautiful place.
Go fly fishing there too, it is Zen like.
Sounds like you had a close one.
We’ve been to Ohiopyle many times—it is beautiful. They’re doing some construction there now (a new visitor’s center, I think) so it’s not as accessible.
