Confirmed from Riday’s Gate 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.
What runners say about Riday’s Gate Trailhead
Very nice trail,well marked pleasant hike, nice views.we started from Ridays on the fork took North trail. There is nice small canyon you would walk through the keep going on the edge with nice view. After 2.3 miles we turned left onto Lower loop trail and end up on the other side of the fork.
Multiple hiking trails with varying degree of difficulty. Hike to the top of Big Pocono for some refreshing view. Very cool and scenic, if somewhat windy at the top. Visit on wintry day and you will see people enjoying skiing running right next to hiking trail as well.
I am a beginner Mountain Biker, but I am in good shape and have a great bike. This trail was a solid workout for me but was flat enough that I could move at about 12 mph and feel comfortable.
