No question that if your summer plans include standing in line at an amusement park or eating hotdogs at a game...well this summer might be a disappointment to some.

A big part of Ohiopyle Rafting Vacations has to do with the unique view of nature you get from a real wilderness experience that's as close as many other DC weekend trips.
I bet everyone is starting to think that summer is coming to an end quickly, i know i was! My time was running out for family vacation. I was running out of ideas, in the past we have done the whole disney world thing as well as going to all of those crowded beaches. We live in the DC area and so i started looking for anything close by to squeeze in last minute, the only tough thing about this was that the ages range in our family from 23,20, 12 and 7 so finding family vacation spots to please everyone is not very easy.

This is one of the falls you may see in Ohiopyle State Park. In the Laurel highlands mountains. This photo was taken by one of guides Tim Nealon... so he has many talents. Come take a family vacation for even just a day to get together to enjoy the area. Looking to go White Water Rafting that is here as well in Ohiopyle. Come up from DC for a weekend trip.
Here at Ohiopyle State Park in Pennsylvania , going over the falls has become a great spectator sport. Although a few brave souls have gone over the falls.This happens only one time a year and goes all weekend long. Usually mid way through the season in August. This one is Buck one of our guides here at White Water Adventurers. Buck is a little different than any guide you may used to seeing. Buck is hearing impaired, he has been deaf since birth. That has not stopped him from any activity he wishes to pursue. Buck also plays on his High School football team as well. Whether you are looking to for a DC Weekend Trip or a Family Vacation, come see the spectacular site of kayakers and thrillseekers going over the Falls.
This is just one of the beautiful sites you can see here at Ohiopyle State Park. This photo was taken by Brandi one of our employees here at White Water Adventurers. Near where our Family Rafting Trips begin. Planning a DC Weekend Trip ? Stop in Pennsylvania just to see what we have to offer. No traffic jams on our Beltway.
