Egg Hill is an elongate hill trending northeast–southwest in southern Centre County, Pennsylvania.[1] It is mostly forested and uninhabited. Sinking Creek flows northeastward along the northern foot of Egg Hill. The town of Spring Mills is located at the northeastern end.[2]

The historic Egg Hill Church is located at the southwestern end of the hill.

Geology

The crest of Egg Hill is along the axis of a minor syncline, within the larger Nittany Anticlinorium. The bedrock along the axis is the Ordovician Bald Eagle Formation, which is mostly sandstone.[3] The crest of the hill is over 1,900 feet (580 m) elevation.
