The region features some of the mid-Atlantic's most exhilarating outdoor recreation. The Youghiogheny River offers Class I-IV whitewater rafting, the Great Allegheny Passage - the longest rail-trail in the east and the highly ranked Laurel Highlands Hiking trail. Golfers are offered a range of courses from the PGA course Mystic Rock to well-groomed public links for golfers of all skill levels.
