Upper Youghiogheny (Class IV-V)

With one section dropping over 115 feet per mile, the Upper Yough can be considered the ULTIMATE CHALLENGE!
We use a specially designed self-bailing four-person raft that has added foot stirrups to help you tackle this technical Class IV-V river.
Guides will be in each raft to assist you in meeting the challenges of nature's most powerful elements. This river flows from a hydropower
dam release. The amount of water released and release times are determined by the power company and may vary. We meet at our base in Ohiopyle
and transport you to the put-in near Friendsville, MD to begin your adventure.
