Details
Ohiopyle is a borough in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 38 at the 2020 census. Ohiopyle is filled with tourists on the weekend, who come for the outdoor recreation opportunities at the surrounding Ohiopyle State Park, as well as the Great Allegheny Passage bicycle trail which connects with the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal towpath trail to form a continuous 335-mile off-road trail from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Washington, D.C.
The first known group of people to inhabit the Ohiopyle area were the Monongahela, a clan of the Mound Builders, Native Americans.
"Ohiopyle" is derived from the Lenape phrase ahi opihəle which means 'it turns very white', referring to the frothy waterfalls.
