Sugarloaf Knob
Sugarloaf Knob is a well-known summit within Ohiopyle State Park on the south end of the Laurel Ridge.

The Youghiogheny River cuts beneath the "knob" and Laurel Hill creating a 1,700-foot (520 m) deep chasm. The highest peak in the area is the south end of the Laurel Hill Ridge as it reaches 2,920 ft (890 m) above sea level.
