McConnell's Mill State Park is a great glacial feature, so much, that it has been designated as a National Natural Landmark by the National Park Service. The trail in McConnell's Mill State Park consists of 7.6 miles going from the Hell's Hollow Trailhead to Alpha Pass. Some of the sites to see along the trail are the Limestone Kiln in Hell's Hollow, Hell's Hollow Falls, several natural bridges and even a cave.

McConnell Mill was built by Daniel Kennedy. The Mill was one of the first rolling mills in the country. The North Country National Scenic Trail now runs beside the mill.

One of two covered bridges in Lawrence County, it was built in 1874 and uses a Howe Truss. The bridge was recently rebuild and now looks completely brand new now. The North Country Trail passes across the bridge to get you to the other side of the gorge.
