McConnels Mills State Park

I have been researching state parks in Pennsylvania with hiking trails that are appropriate for kids, so this morning we packed everyone up bright and early and checked out the Hell's Hollow hiking trail at McConnels Mills State Park. It was a half mile trail with a waterfall at the end that was perfect for kids that are new to hiking! We had a couple of meltdowns and sailed through the snacks that I packed for everyone, but we completed the 1 mile in about 70 minutes! With practice I think that we could shave about 30 minutes off that time and have more time to visit the other sites at the park including 2 covered bridges from the 1800's, the old grain mill, the playground area, and the white water rafting rapids.
