Slide Hollow (also known as Slide Hollow Run) is a tributary of Panther Run in Union County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately 1.2miles long and flows through Lewis Township and Hartley Township. The watershed of Slide Hollow has an area of 0.61sqmi. A total of 35 different dissolved elements have been detected in it. Wild trout also naturally reproduce within the stream and it has been stocked with trout in the past.
Slide Hollow begins in a valley between Jones Mountain and Middle Ridge in Lewis Township. It flows west-southwest and almost immediately enters Hartley Township. It continues flowing west-southwest for several tenths of a mile. The stream then turns west-northwest for a short distance before turning southwest. Several tenths of a mile further downstream, it reaches its confluence with Panther Run at The Hook.
Slide Hollow joins Panther Run 0.46miles upstream of its mouth.
The field pH of Slide Hollow was once measured to be 6.85, while the lab pH was measured to be 6.51. The concentration of aluminum in the stream was measured to be 12ug/L. The concentration of dissolved oxygen was 9.39mg/L, the specific conductivity was 24 micro-siemens per centimeter. The concentrations of sulfate, nitrate, and chloride were 0.495, 3.548, and 1.148, respectively.
A total of 35 dissolved elements have been observed in the stream at concentrations above or at their detection limits.
In a 2006 study, the sodium and potassium concentrations in Slide Hollow were 317ug/L710ug/L, respectively. The rubidium concentration was only 0.728ug/L, however. The magnesium concentration was 1100ug/L, and the calcium concentration was 1300ug/L. The strontium and barium concentrations were considerably lower, only 5.68ug/L11.9ug/L.
In the 2006 study, the vanadium concentration in Slide Hollow was 0.1ug/L. The manganese concentration was 1.9ug/L, the cobalt concentration was 0.022ug/L, and the nickel and copper concentrations were both 0.8ug/L. The concentration of zinc was 2.7ug/L. The concentration of yttrium was 0.038ug/L and the cadmium concentration was 0.02ug/L. All of the non-radioactive lanthanides were detected in the stream, with the exception of thulium and lutetium. Concentrations ranged from 0.001ug/L (terbium and holmium) to 0.024ug/L (cerium). The highest-numbered transition metal to be observed in concentrations above the detection limit was hafnium (0.002ug/L). However, the concentration of lead was 0.03ug/L and the uranium concentration was 0.006ug/L.
The silicon concentration was 2300ug/L. However, the arsenic concentration was only 0.08ug/L and the antimony concentration was 0.01ug/L. The concentration of bromine was 12ug/L, while the iodine concentration was 1ug/L.
The elevation near the mouth of Slide Hollow is 1427feet above sea level. The elevation of the stream's source is between 1660and above sea level.
The watershed of Slide Hollow has an area of 0.61sqmi. The stream and its valley are entirely within the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Hartleton.
The valley of Slide Hollow was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1187806. Slide Hollow is an unofficially named stream that is named after the valley through which it flows. The stream is also known as Slide Hollow Run.
Wild trout naturally reproduce in Slide Hollow from its headwaters downstream to its mouth. In the 1930s, the stream was known to be a good brook trout stream. It was also stocked with trout during this time.
In a 2006 survey, eight fish were observed in Slide Hollow.
