Sideling Hill is one of the best rock exposures in the northeastern United States. Highway construction cut through the mountain exposing almost 850 vertical feet of a textbook example syncline formed nearly 350 million years ago. The center provides information and helps visitors understand what they are viewing. The area is a prime location for mountain scenery and wildlife.
