Mostly driving to different sites associated with McConnell's Mill State Park, today's cold temperature, ice, wind, and crowds made finding parking harder than usual. This gorge contains Slippery Rock Creek, during the last ice age the glacier that covered this area its theorized through evidence in the rock and strata that a glacial wall broke releasing a torrential amount of water very rapidly carving this section of what is now this gorge from South to North actually flowing in reverse of what the water travels today. Then when the glacier melted and retreated to the North the water flowed from North to South further eroding Slippery Rock Gorge and creating this steep creek loved by paddlers (kayakers) and white water canoes.
