Wolf Creek Narrows Natural Area

Wolf Creek Narrows Natural Area is owned and managed by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, and is located just outside of Slippery Rock. To get there, go north on I-79 to the Slippery Rock Exit, get onto rt. 108 towards Slippery Rock, turn left onto West Park Road, then right onto Miller Road. It eventually crosses Wolf Creek via an old metal bridge. The parking area is on your right just before the bridge. The trailhead is on the other side of the bridge on your left (there was nothing saying that a person couldn't cross - just no cars). There is one major trail, which follows the creek for a spell and loops up into the higher woods.

Wolf Creek Narrows is primarily known for its spring and summer wildflowers (read this), but don't underestimate its fall colors.
