American Whitewater's on-going access efforts on the Lower Yough's Ohiopyle Falls were in the news this week.

On April 4th, 2001 American Whitewater formally requested a meeting with Superintendent Doug Hoehn at Ohiopyle State Park to discuss a permanent arrangement for allowing safe, legal access to the waterfalls year round. Here is an abridged copy of the proposal that we forwarded to Superintendent Hoehn as well as Pennsylvania's Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary John C. Oliver. Secretary Oliver ran the Falls in September 2000 as part of the second annual Ohiopyle Falls Race.
