About the Adventure

Activity Levels 2: Moderate Location: McConnells Mill State Park, Portersville, PA Guide: Lindsay Join us for an autumn adventure as we hike alongside the breathtaking Slippery Rock Creek Gorge, a designated National Natural Landmark and one of our favorite spots for fall hiking. This 3 mile loop will take us along the Alpha Pass Trail, the Kildoo Trail, and the Slippery Rock Gorge Trail, offering stunning views of vibrant fall foliage, rocky landscapes, and the rushing creek below. Highlights include the historic Old Mill and its dam, the iconic McConnells Mill covered bridge, striking boulders and rock formations, small waterfalls, and the dynamic waters of Slippery Rock Creek. It's one of the most beautiful hikes in our area, especially in the fall! Total distance: 3 miles. Elevation gain is 210 feet. The first 1.5 miles of the trail are rocky, with sections that feel exposed to the river below. If you're uncomfortable with heights, these areas may pose a challenge. (Also, my parents did this hike at ages 77 and 78...so it's all relative.) 💌 Registered participants will receive an email with meeting location, suggested gear, and other pertinent info before the event.
