Hornbecks Trail — Attraction in Delaware Township

Beautiful family and pet friendly trail. There is a small parking in the woods a quarter mile up the trail from the main road, and a larger parking right on the road. About a mile of very gently climbing forested terrain (with charming wooden bridges back and forth across the creek that kids will love) gets you to a scenic waterfall. Then if you're up for it, there's a more technical trail that climbs up more steeply up the creek valley and along the creek from up high with stunning views. But it's narrow, and involves constantly dodging fallen trees and scrambling up slippery rocks in parts so this part probably isn't for families with small kids or less athletic dogs.

It reminded me of the waterfalls in the...

This is a very pleasant 1.0 mile hike/walk easy enough for all, even children. The path is groomed with small gravel (wide & flat) half the way to the falls. There's several water crossings atop well constructed bridges & walkways. Once you cross over the metal-creaky bridge the path becomes a trail until you reach the falls. The falls are wonderful. Well worth seeing. Some people may hope to maneuver around the lower falls in an attempt to hike a more adventurous way to the upper falls. I say save the effort and drive to the Upper Falls TH on Emory Rd past PEEC and...
