Beautiful and easy hike. Use the AllTrails app for navigation, it works even without a signal. There are a couple of steep segments close to the top of the hill.

What a nice afternoon New Year's Eve hike. Our group included adults and kids aged 4 through 11, along with two young dogs. Nice resting overlook at the top. Everyone we passed along the way was friendly as well, wishing us all a happy new year. It was a very comfortable 50-degree winter day, not much for mud, although with the recent thaw, there were some spots, but we were able to easily walk to the side of the trail. I'd guess approximately 3 miles, which took our group (adults aged 35 to 65) about an hour. We live close enough to repeat this again soon!

This is a wonderful trail along the Upper Delaware River. It is definitely a little strenuous in spots, but I believe the view to be worth it at the top.
You start at the parking lot where you will cross over the historic arch bridge. You continue along the gravel road/path until the sign that says “trail” with an arrow. You will follow that trail until a fork where the tusten trail loop begins. I recommend going right at the fork as it is easier to go up and also slightly quicker and less drawn out. The ascent and eventual decent, that leads to the left path, will be much easier if you go up on the right path. Follow the yellow markers once you get to the fork mentioned above.
The top view is small and you may miss it if you are not looking out. Follow the yellow markers to be sure to get to the view.

Mildly challenging hike. Suitable for most people. The scenery was great. You can kind of see the Delaware River from up top. The signs were lacking and it took forever to find the lookout. Free parking available on the right side just before the arch bridge. Takes about 2.5-3 hours round trip for the hike at a relaxing speed.

Fun loop hike and a little steep and rocky in some parts but the lookout at the top of the hill is awesome
