Confirmed from Milford Knob Trailhead'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.
Hiking area known for its waterfall, great views, and kid-friendly trails.
What runners say about Milford Knob Trailhead
“Bring your binoculars and look out at historic downtown Milford and the lazy, clean, beautiful Delaware River.”
“Bring your binoculars and look out at historic downtown Milford and the lazy, clean, beautiful Delaware River.”
Fun and a bit advanced trail that has some pretty nice views. You can bring your dog(s) as well. Just remember to have them on a leash.
Great hike, leads to nice view of Milford. Pretty easy until the last 1/4 mile when it gets STEEP. Until then, mostly shaded and well maintained trail. Mild incline. Approx 1 mile up, 1 mile back. I don’t recommend flip flops. Wear something with more grip that won’t get soaked by your sweat.
One of the most beautiful trails on the East coast. That includes two gorgeous waterfalls and the nearby historic town of Milford, PA.
Moderate 3 mile RT hike to Riverview overlook. Took the Cliff trail. Did see a Bear on the trail.

“Wonderful little stop if you’re on a long drive and need to let everyone out of the car to stretch their legs - my dogs loved a little romp down the trail.”
“If you go early enough it's not crowded and you'll find parking.”
