Really enjoyed the section leading up to Cucumber Falls as the trail weaves in and out along the large flat rock portions of the river for multiple views. Great Gorge Trail: Ohiopyle State Park. Overall good hike and nice to finish with a quick dip in the river. It was suppose to be a rainy day, but we lucked out and the rain held off. 511.53 m Down, 4.4 mi we started at the lowest point and hiked up.

It's moderately trafficked and heavily trafficked closer to Cucumber Falls.While hiking on the northern portion of this trail, along the Youghiogheny River, you'll often notice kayakers and whitewater rafters passing by in the river below; however, it's easier to see them during the colder months when the leaves are off the trees.

510 m Up It’s also hard to follow the trail at times when you’re going along the river and you have to hop from rock to rock. The trail is a little hard on the way to cucumber falls, than pretty flat for a good bit than steep to the end. The only downside to this trail is there is no real lookout point of the river unless you hop on the Bike Trail at the end.The end of this trail puts you at the bottom of Cucumber Falls and at the trailhead for the Meadow Run Trail. The trail is wide going on, but you’re brushing weeds and everything cause it gets narrow real fast. . 1,673' Up
Great trail, my wife and I did this today for the first time. The first section to Cucumber Falls was the best part by far. Fall colors were nice. We parked at the Cucumber Picnic Area (although we did go back too far because the trail sign is quite small and off the the left of the initial parking). on the way back down it was a little tricky getting over those jagged rocks (see image). Was expecting a good view it was just a cross trails. Spam? Flickr/bobistraveling.
