The hike is mostly flat, but really rocky, so wear some appropriate shoes. The rocks and the corresponding view are great. Pack a lunch to enjoy on the rocks.

I rent my skis in Donegal every time I go. Lots of trails, some groomed and some not. Keep your eyes out for snowmobiles on the main road (though they tend to keep a respectful distance and speed). There is a small lodge to warm up, go to the bathroom, and grab a trail map.

Beautiful (and easy) hike all along the creek. There are lots of mini falls and a few spots to take a dip, if you're so inclined. If it's dry out, though, the water tends to run low and it isn't quite as exciting (like any river). And know that if there's been some recent rain, the falls will be great but the trail will be muddy. So wear appropriate shoes.

The campground is nothing spectacular, but it is perfectly decent spot to get out of the city for a night or two. And it puts you in close quarters will some great hikes (and swimming) around Ohiopyle. Spots 164 through 167 are probably the best.
