If
spelunking is your thing, then you can not pass up on the
Laurel Caverns. This 435-acre geological park is a 45 minute
drive from West Newton. The park features Pennsylvania's largest
cave. They offer family and group tours of the cave along
with programs for boy scouts and girl scouts. If your planning
on a day of exploration some special gear will be required,
please see the Laurel
Caverns web site for more details.
White Water Rafting
If you follow the Youghiogheny 45 minutes
south of West Newton you will find Ohiopyle
State Park. The section of the Yough River that
flows here has some of the best white-water on the East Coast.
Ohiopyle State Park offers several outfitters that will help
you enjoy a day of high adventure on the Yough.
