McConnells Mill State Park
submitted by Richard Nugent

McConnells Mill State Park has some unique birding opportunities. Along Slippery Rock Creek is found a cool damp Hemlock habitat, which is like a part of northern forest transplanted to Lawrence County. This habitat supports breeding Winter Wren, Black-throated Green Warbler and Blue-headed Vireo, all normally found farther north. The trails tend to be rocky, wet, muddy and/or slippery
