Falls City Pub is located in the town of Ohiopyle, which is located inside Ohiopyle State Park. This is the largest state park in Pennsylvania, with more than 20,000 acres of preserved outdoor space. The Youghiogheny River Gorge is the centerpiece of the park, with 18 miles of river open to whitewater rafting. The Yough Lake Reservoir in Confluence, is 18 miles long and stores a vast amount of water. Because of this reservoir we are fortunate to have whitewater every day of the year.
The Youghiogheny River starts up on Backbone Mountain, on the border of West Virginia and Maryland. From here it flows north for its entire life until it joins the Monangahela River outside of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. This can generate some confusion since the names of the sections of river at first glance seem to be backwards. The Upper Yough is located in Maryland, south of the Lower Yough. But trust us — it definitely is upstream.
