McDade Recreational Trail

"Great trail for a gravel bike! Better than the flat rail to trail bike paths. Scenic ride mostly flat with a few moderate hills. Two tough hills before the large parking area. Several little bridges makes it fun. Definitely will be back."

"Nice long trail but bikes can only go so far before it's hiking only"

"Very nice and well-kept trail. Gets a little busy during summer. Depending on what part of the trail you're on there's easy access to the Delaware River. Obviously you're in their territory but I've never run into so many bear as I have this year. I would carry some form of repellent or protection."

"Really liked this biking trail. It was clean, easy access to parking, there’s just an entrance fee that’s all. Loved biking here, worth the drive!"

"Great trail for bike riding with the following caveat. The Hialeah to Smithfield section (see attached photo) is NOT easy. We stopped at the Visitor Center to get this map/guidebook and get a recommendation on which section we could bike with the kids... Disregard what this map tells you regarding the rating and the elevation delta (at least for this section). The elevation delta must be only the difference between the start and end points, disregarding any gain/loss between these points (see google maps screenshot). There are two very large descents/climbs that required some/all of us to walk our bikes down/up. The gravel on much of this section was mostly larger which posed an additional challenge for a hybrid bike rider and was still challenging on a MTB. Based on this, it makes me question the legitimacy of the other ratings... From Smithfield, heading north to Riverview, was very flat. The gravel was much smaller and smoother with some grassy sections. The parking lot at Riverview was rather small. The parking was free at Hialeah and there was a decent amount of it. Smithfield parking is fee based. Parking at Riverview is free, but it is a small lot."
