Hialeah Trailhead

Moderate difficulty trail with ample parking. May be closed during the winter.

Even better than I thought.

Started at the trailhead here with some friends, it was a very easy-going and wide path with beautiful sites. Pleasant forests with the Delaware river always peeking through the trees. This trailhead connects to other trails along the McDade Trail going up the river. This trailhead lasts 1.8 miles to the next one.

Easy walk or bike ride.

Hialeah has several picnicing areas and 2 small rest rooms. (I believe they are locked at sunset.) We park all the way down the path at the entrance to the McDade Trail, where there is room for several cars and parking is free. The McDade Trail is great for running, walking, and biking. This trail roughly follows the Delaware River from the Hialeah entrance about 30 miles north past Bushkill to near Milford PA. The Hialeah section, about 1.8 miles to Smithfield Beach, has quite a few hills, 2 of them quite steep ( I can't make it all the way up either one on my mountain bike). The path meanders mostly through woods above the Delaware. Toilets, water fountains and beach access available at Smithfield Beach (fee for parking, at least in summer). There is a beach as well as canoe/kayak/ boat access to the Delaware here. Terrain after Smithfield is flatter for 4-5 miles.
