Some people know it as home. Others know it as a turnpike exit.

All the sites, sounds, tastes and adventures Donegal has to offer keeps them coming back again and again.

On average, over 10,000 cars a day pass through the Donegal area. Visitors come to enjoy the picturesque views and dine on hearty home-made meals at the many family style restaurants. They also explore local festivals, unique shops, and see the sites such as, Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water, Living Treasures Animal Park, Ohiopyle Falls and Fort Ligonier.

The more adventuresome come to the area for its many fun-filled attractions such as biking or hiking on one of the many Rails to Trails projects, or the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail. Try skiing or golfing at Seven Springs Mountain Resort or Hidden Valley Resort and white water rafting or kayaking at Ohiopyle State Park. You can spend your nights camping at one of the area's five state parks and spend the day playing games or riding the amusement rides at Caddie Shak Family Fun Park or Idlewild Park.
