When we made plans for a few days in Ohiopyle, I assumed that we would ride our bikes out there--it seemed that many people had. However, others have said the road is unsafe.

We are bike commuters and are used to sharing the road, have yellow vests, etc. but there definitely are roads I won't go on.

What are the opinions here about the road to Fallingwater? Any ideas of alternative transportation?

Fallingwater is only 5 miles or so from Ohiopyle, but Route 381 is hilly and lots of curves and no bike lane that I know of. You don't say where your riding in from. But lots of riders do it.

I have family that live on that road half way between Ohiopyle and Falling Waters and we have biked down the hill to Ohiopyle, but believe you'd have to walk up the hill. Its very steep and as others said, no shoulders to speak of! Good luck.

We did the GAP/C&O ride a couple of years ago. We took a layover day and visited Fallingwater and it was awesome. The folks at Wilderness Voyagers did our shuttle. Great folks and reasonable price. Locked the bikes at their place, they took us to FW and then picked us up when we called for a return ride.
