Inside Ohiopyle State Park is Cucumber Falls, a small but still impressive waterfall that turns to a beautiful ice sculpture in winter. Nearby is a stretch of riverbed so smooth it's become a series of natural waterslides. Note that both these areas are self-use and care should be taken on the slippery rocks to avoid injury.
