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 1.2 miles (1.9 km) long and flows through Lewis Township and Hartley Township. The watershed of Slide Hollow has an area of 0.61 square miles (1.6 km2). 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 0.46 miles (0.74 km) 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 12 micrograms per litre (1.2×10−5 oz/cu ft). The concentration of dissolved oxygen was 9.39 milligrams per litre (0.00938 oz/cu ft), 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 317 and 710 micrograms per litre (0.000317 and 0.000709 oz/cu ft), respectively. The rubidium concentration was only 0.728 micrograms per litre (7.27×10−7 oz/cu ft), however. The magnesium concentration was 1,100 micrograms per litre (0.0011 oz/cu ft), and the calcium concentration was 1,300 micrograms per litre (0.0013 oz/cu ft). The strontium and barium concentrations were considerably lower, only 5.68 and 11.9 micrograms per litre (5.67×10−6 and 1.189×10−5 oz/cu ft).
