Little Rocky Glen is a natural area located near Factoryville, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is a 59-acre preserve that features a beautiful gorge and a stream that flows through it. The area is known for its scenic beauty, unique rock formations, and diverse plant and animal life.
The gorge at Little Rocky Glen was formed by the flow of Little Rocky Glen Creek, which cuts through the hard sandstone and shale rock formations. The creek runs through the length of the gorge, creating small waterfalls and pools along the way. Visitors can hike along the creek, following a trail that leads through the length of the gorge. The trail can be challenging at times, as it involves steep climbs and descents, and requires a good level of physical fitness.

The area is also a habitat for a number of bird species, such as the Blackburnian warbler and the red-eyed vireo. The preserve is managed by the Countryside Conservancy, a non-profit organization that works to preserve and protect natural areas in northeastern Pennsylvania.
Overall, Little Rocky Glen is a beautiful natural area that offers visitors the opportunity to experience the beauty of nature in northeastern Pennsylvania. Whether you are an avid hiker or simply looking for a peaceful and scenic place to relax, Little Rocky Glen is definitely worth a visit.
SWIMMING IS NOT PERMITTED
Much of this area was purchased by Countryside Conservancy in 2004. Since that date we have opened the property to the public, but we DO NOT PERMIT SWIMMING on Conservancy property. There is therefore no "sanction" to use this site for these activities. Signs on the property clearly state our regulations. This is a beautiful spot and we encourage visitors to use it for hiking, fishing, picnicking and other activities, but in order to protect visitor safety, we cannot permit swimming.
