Big Run is a small tributary of Slippery Rock Creek in western Pennsylvania. The stream rises in northwestern Butler County and flows northwest entering Slippery Rock Creek just east of Crolls Mills, Pennsylvania. The watershed is roughly 26% agricultural, 65% forested and the rest is other uses.[4]
