Description

In the heart of the Laurel Highlands and spanning the Mason-Dixon line between Pennsylvania and Maryland lies Youghiogheny River Lake. A popular location for recreation, Youghiogheny River Lake attracts numerous visitors each year. Boating, hunting, camping, and many other outdoor activities are enjoyed by visitors with outstanding facilities provided for the publics convenience. Boaters consider Youghiogheny River Lake, with all its 16 mile length and channels up to one-half mile wide, the best power boating and water-skiing lake in southwestern Pennsylvania. For those who prefer to propel their boats with a paddle, the Youghiogheny River has plenty to offer. From the outflow area of the dam and extending for approximately 20 miles downstream is one of the most popular rafting and canoeing rivers in the eastern United States. The boulder strewn stretch of the Youghiogheny below Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania, is renowned for its whitewater and is often the scene of national kayaking competitions.
