McConnells Mills

This State Park is located about an hour north of Pittsburgh. It is an excellent place for whitewater rafting, though we went on a hike. The walk down to the mill and covered bridge is steep, but hikers are rewarded by the gorgeous scenery and the many flowers and plants that grow along the way. The trail continues from the mill and covered bridge along Slippery Rock Creek. The SCA Bioneers group used this as an opportunity to identify a variety of trees, flowers and other plants.
