The Great-Spangled Fritillary butterfly is found throughout North America and is one of the most common butterflies at our parks and trails. Violets serve as the host plant for the larvae.
At the Waterworks Conservation Area mine water from an old coal mine is discharged from a riser pipe before entering the treatment system. Depending on how much water enters the mine after rain the flow of water out of the riser pipe sometimes looks like a piece of fine glass work.
The Two Lick Creek Water Trail is a 13-mile long trip from Waterworks Conservation Area to the most southern take-out at the juncture of Two lick and Blacklick Creeks. At the low head dam near the Homer City Generating Station kayakers are required to portage around the dam. This interpretive sign at the Waterworks Conservation Area contains a map of the route.
