Fall Hiking in the Greater Delhi Area

Cooler temperatures have arrived, with a sprinkle of warmer days mixed in, and it's the perfect time to hit the trails. If you know where to look, there is no shortage of beautiful hiking locations within a quick drive of Delhi.

The Gribley Trail is a 3 mile trail located on Sheldon Drive passing behind Delaware Academy. This trail makes a loop yet provides options to connect with Frightful Falls Trail and Bulldog Run Trail depending on the length and elevation you would like to hike. Together these three trails make up the Delhi Trails at Mt. Crawford

The Smith Pond Trail is an easy 1.1 mile hike with its trailhead on Route 28 opposite of Delaware Academy. It follows the West Branch of the Delaware River through grasslands and mixed forest.
