The Wolf Creek Narrows are part of the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. One look and you’ll see why this land is worth preserving. The delightful 1.5-mile looping trail winds below Wolf Creek’s 50-foot cliffs and is speckled with wildflowers in spring. The cool, wet habitat is perfect for the Louisiana waterthrush, so be sure to look for them along the creek’s edges and on rocks. The trail is almost entirely shaded by the surrounding forest. Spring brings a bevy of warblers to the trees’ canopy, while the secluded forest floor is ideal for wood and gray-cheeked thrushes, as well as eastern towhees. What will you see in between? You’ll just need to visit and find out.
Wolf Creek Narrows
This is a great place to see the secretive Louisiana waterthrush (actually a warbler) and plenty of other warblers, too.

Getting there
Park in the Miller Woods Nature Preserve across the bridge on the western side of Wolf Creek. Be careful when you re-cross the bridge and Miller Road to get to the Wolf Creek Narrows trailhead. The Miller Road isn’t exactly choked with traffic, but it does get its fair share of vehicles.
Expect to see:
Warblers, including Blackburnian, yellow-rumped, Nashville, black and white, northern parulas and American redstarts. Louisiana waterthrush, scarlet tanagers, wood and gray-cheeked thrushes, eastern towhee, blue-gray gantcatchers and more. There’s a fair chance you’ll spot bald eagles and osprey, which sometimes try to steal each other’s dinner.
