Where the Waterfalls Are
Cochranton sits in or near the Western Pennsylvania Gorges area of Pennsylvania. Northwestern Pennsylvania was glaciated, and meltwater carved steep gorges into the sandstone of the region. In Lawrence County, McConnells Mill State Park protects the gorge of Slippery Rock Creek, and Hells Hollow Falls is a small, pretty fall reached by a short trail in the same park. Quakertown Falls is another Lawrence County site. Beaver, Mercer and Crawford counties add scattered falls along creek valleys, and Erie County's single named fall lies near the Lake Erie shore, where small streams cut ravines through layered shale on their way to the lake.
