A refreshing hike can sometimes be just what we need to recharge. Or maybe we just feel like setting off on an adventure that includes some of the prettiest scenery in Pennsylvania. You’ll find both along the Hornbecks Creek Trail, a breathtaking trail in Dingmans Ferry, Pennsylvania, but you’ll also have to be up for somewhat of a challenge.
Gear up for an adventure that promises some of the most breathtaking views in the Delaware Gap National Recreation Area along the Hornbecks Creek Trail.
You may also hear the popular Pennsylvania trail called the Indians Ladder Trai.
Wandering 3.7 miles, this picturesque path scores a moderate rating due to some steep climbs and rocky terrain. However, some hikers assert that, despite those challenges, it's still kid-friendly.
Because of the sometimes rocky terrain, you'll definitely want to wear a pair of comfortable hiking shoes.

As the trail meanders along the pretty path, over footbridges, and up log stairs, keep an eye out for poison ivy. It tends to be in abundance near the trail.
After the first waterfall, the trail narrows, and it can get incredibly slippery after it rains. Your best bet, especially if you have little ones, is to hike it when the ground is dry.

Several beautiful cascades will greet you along the trail, each promising an idyllic backdrop for photos.
