Ohiopyle is such a great place for a family vacation. There are so many things to do. You can rent bikes for very reasonable prices. The bike trial is located at the end of town where you can either go to the left which will take you along the lower yough.This is also nice because you can walk from the bike trail right down to different rapids on the river and watch some of the rafting trips go by. Then if you decided to go to the right side of the bike trail that will take you along side the middle yough. The Middle yough is the part of the river which is mellow and great for young children to enjoy the outdoors. 

When you think about family rafting trips, you might think about yourself and family traveling to our area for rafting near Pittsburgh.

We consider family rafting trips a different way...our staff. Being in the tourism industry, we have had many employees come and go over the 37 years we've been operating. They come to us from high school or college and usually spend several years with us before leaving to pursue their real careers.

But then a funny thing happens. They come back. They call on the phone just to see how things are going. They send Christmas cards and let us know what's going in their lives. They come back and guide on the river for the summer, on the weekends, during their vacations. Just like parents, we welcome them home, like lost family members.

So when you come rafting with us this summer, ask your guides what they do for their "real" job. You might have Tim who does web design, John who is an EMT, Michael or Chad who are both firemen, Steve who works in graphic design, Pete or Jeff who are both teachers, Joe who is a chef,  Pat who is a political consultant, or one of our many other returning family members.
