With a bachelor of science in energy business and finance from the Pennsylvania State University, Eva Jeanne Markosky worked as an engineering assistant at the Markosky Engineering Group. Outside of the professional arena, she enjoys a wide range of outdoor activities. Eva Jeanne Markosky ranks whitewater rafting in the Youghiogheny River as one of her favorite wilderness experiences.
The most popular section of the Youghiogheny River is the Lower Yough. Ideal for intermediate rafters, it offers class III through class IV rapids as well as breathtaking natural scenery and abundant wildlife.
Covering 11 miles, the middle section of the Youghiogheny River never exceeds class II turbulence. It is great for families and others who are looking for a leisurely nature experience.
The upper Yough is for experienced rafters only. This class V stretch of the Youghiogheny contains 22 incredibly fast and steep rapids that blend into one another and ultimately drop rafters an average of 120 feet per mile.
