The Tenth Annual Over the Falls Festival
will take place on August 23, 2008. Mark your calendars! Extra! Extra! "How to run a waterfall" clinic (sponsored
by Wilderness Voyagers) to take place on Sunday,

Although there has been a lot of discussion with Ohiopyle State Park, and we are optimistic about expanded access to the Falls, things are moving very slowly. See the Press Release for details. This year's Festival will be August 23, 2008, with a high-water cancellation date to be announced. We have also presented another proposal to the Park to open Ohiopyle Falls up on a limited basis on other dates. Keep checking with this web page for updates on all the above. Official date for the 2008 Event: August 23, 2008 (High-water Cancellation Date: TBA.) New!! Falls Access Update 2006 - Adding Additional "Clinic" Days, July 8 &
Aug. 5. More falls-dropping for you!
