It is known as the deepest gap east of the Mississippi River, though other sources list this gap as being 1,560 feet deep, though just the third deepest in Pennsylvania. The water cutting through the terrain for millennium exposed some of the giant coal seams that made this area prosperous in the 1800s. The overlook is Haw's Pike or Rt. 56. There is a pull-off for the scenic overlook and parking.
