Confirmed from Fireline Trail Scenic Overlook's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Fireline Trail Scenic Overlook
“5 mile from the trail head is a picturesque overlook of the Leigh River and Leigh gorge state park.”
Parking lot of trail head is on PA 534. About 0.5 mile from the trail head is a picturesque overlook of the Leigh River and Leigh gorge state park. It is one of the most beautiful spots in park to watch sunset. But I got there at noon. Still beautiful!
Scenic vista on the FireLine trail located in Hickory Run State Park. Trail can be in and back if you park in the lot across from the Manor House Trail. Short walk to the vista that overlooks the Lehigh River! You also see the remains of what I can only assume was a bridge.
Can be short/direct hike to the overlook, or piece together from other trails. Not difficult, nice transitions, decent reward at the top. Was easy for non-hikers in the family and a 6-year-old. Went in July, wild blueberries were just off the trail in several sections.
A great walk in the woods. It's not a far walk from the trailhead to the vista, and there is a picnic table overlooking the vista! I It's a great place to stop and have a snack!
