McConnells Mill State Park, located on 2,546 acres, features the striking Slippery Rock Creek Gorge, a National Natural Landmark formed by glacial lake drainage. The gorge is known for its steep sides, boulderous valley, and scenic overlooks and waterfalls. The park also offers tours of a historic gristmill and a covered bridge from the 1800s. Open year-round from sunrise to sunset, the park's day-use areas close at dusk.

The McConnell's Mill Covered Bridge, built in 1874, stretches across Slippery Rock Creek. This wooden bridge, constructed using the Howe truss design, rests on a stone foundation and is reinforced by steel. It is one of only four remaining Howe truss bridges in Pennsylvania. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Daniel Kennedy opened a gristmill on Slippery Rock Creek in 1852. The mill was rebuilt after a fire in 1868. McConnell acquired the mill in 1875, replacing the waterwheel with turbines and grindstones with rolling mills, making it one of the first of its kind in the country. The mill ground various grains until it closed in 1928. The ownership passed to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1957, leading to the formal dedication of McConnells Mill State Park. Today is the mill. Today, interpretive tours of the historic mill are available at 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. in the summer. For interpretive tours for groups, call the Moraine Park office at 724-368-8811.
