waterlandlife.org info@paconserve.org
Location : Slippery Rock Township and Worth Township, Butler County
Size : 243 acres
Dates acquired : 19792015
Notable features : Mature forest, Wolf Creek floodplain and streambank, spring wildflowers, vernal pools, old fields
Recreational activities (see inside for details): Hiking, wildlife watching, hunting, fishing
Directions : From the Slippery Rock exit off I -79, go east on Rt. 108 to Slippery Rock. At the light in town, turn left on Rt. 258. Go one block, turn left on W. Water St., and follow it for approx. 2 miles (W. Water St. becomes Miller Rd.) until it crosses a bridge over Wolf Creek. Cross the bridge and turn left into a small parking area at the head of a dirt lane. Walk back across the bridge, and the trailhead is on the left. Please use caution and watch for traffic along the road.
Please note: The parking area is located on the Miller Woods tract, owned and managed by Slippery Rock University. The southern parcel of the Natural Area is accessible only from the creek.
Description : Wolf Creek Narrows Natural Area is particularly known for its spectacular display of spring wildflowers. An active floodplain, mature northern hardwood forest, and scenic cliffs make this property one of WPC’s most popular.
When visiting Wolf Creek Narrows, please remember:
Only foot-traffic is permitted. Camping and campfires are prohibited.
If you carry it in, carry it out.
Dogs must be on a leash or otherwise kept under control at all times.
Collecting (animals, plants, rocks, etc.) without permission is prohibited.
It is believed that the steep, narrow gorge of Wolf Creek Narrows originally formed when the ceiling of an ice-age cave eroded and collapsed due to runoff from the melting glacier. The site now consists of a high -quality stream meandering through towering 50-foot cliffs. These natural processes, including annual flooding and icescouring, as well as limited human activities, have resulted in diverse natural communities.
Recreational activities: From the trailhead and kiosk, a 1.5-mile loop footpath begins by leading upstream over level terrain to the point where the creek is pinched between rocky bluffs. The trail then climbs steeply along the sloping shoulder of the gorge’s eastern flank, meanders through an upland deciduous forest, and then descends back to Wolf Creek just upstream from the starting point. The trail is moderately-difficult , but suitable for families with children. The mixture of riparian and upland communities provides habitat for a variety of wildlife . Birds include belted kingfisher, Louisiana waterthrush, wood thrush, and the occasional osprey or bald eagle.
Small, isolated pools of water provide breeding habitat for amphibians. Abundant logs on the forest floor offer cover for salamanders and snakes. Hunting and fishing are permitted in accordance with state regulations. Please exercise caution and wear blaze orange during hunting season.

With eleven miles complete and several more to go, Alameda Park Single Track is built to the latest IMBA standards, which means you’re in for a great ride! The trails offer rolling contours, banked corners, berms, and even a ramp built entirely along the length of a huge fallen tree!

The Butler-Freeport Community Trail is a rail-trail, preserving the route of Butler County’s first railroad (1871), the Western Pennsylvania Railroad, which connected the City of Butler to the Allegheny River port of Freeport. As a rails-to-trails project, the 21-mile trail offers a level, natural crushed limestone surface with a gradual uphill grade as it travels north (barely noticeable to walkers) and the converse downhill grade as it travels south (greatly enjoyed by bicyclists). Dogs are welcome but required to be on a leash and under the control of the person walking them on the trail.
Near the Herman trailhead, step from the trail into Derailleur Bike Shop Café, which offers wholesome food and refreshing beverages, along with bike rentals, maintenance, repair, parts and gear.
