With Waterfalls And Boardwalks, The Little-Known Moncacy Hill Trail In Pennsylvania Is Unexpectedly Magical
Monocacy Hill Trail in Pennsylvania might not be on your radar when it comes to hiking. However, it really should be on your bucket list. After all, you won’t find a more magical trek on which to embark. The trail’s brimming with natural beauty, hidden surprises, and some of the state’s best views. Perhaps even better, it’s picture-perfect in every season – from the blossoming days of spring to the snow-capped afternoons of winter.
Be prepared for a moderately challenging trek along the 4.2-mile Monocacy Hill Trail, which meanders through Monocacy Hill Recreation Area in Douglassville.
On a sunny day, the sunbeams will peek through the trees as you stroll along the boardwalk. Listen for the birds in the trees, and keep an eye out for any snakes that might slither by.
Lush vegetation dots the path. You'll find a ton of photo-worthy moments. Just remember to bring your camera and plenty of water, and wear sturdy shoes.
One of the highlights of the trail is, arguably, the view from the top of the hill. You might even want to time it so you arrive on the hilltop to catch the sun as it falls asleep.
