The climax of the creek occurs in the gorge area in McConnell's Mill State Park . This area is a combination of a steep gorge with huge boulders, and the whitewater attraction of the turbulent Slippery Rock Creek. The covered bridge and Old Mill Museum are popular sites for visitors. Additional activities include kayaking the gorge, as well as rock climbing and rappelling the large boulders on the far side of the gorge. These activities are not to be taken lightly.
Rock climbing requires proper equipment and experience in setting up belay systems.
The whitewater in the gorge is rated class I-III, so you need a significant amount of experience before attempting this creek. Please take proper precautions. For some great pictures of McConnell's Mill State Park, click here .
