Trail to The Knob

High above the intersection of Milford’s main streets (Broad & Harford) is a visible overlook, known locally as The Knob, and part of the plateau escarpment formed by the Delaware River.
To hike it, go down East Harford two blocks to Mott Street, then a short way to the Mott Street Bridge over the Sawkill. On the other side to the right, you will enter an historic walking area, known as The Glen. Hiking out of the back of The Glen toward the ridge, you will come to an old farm road as it rises to cross a knoll. At this spot you will see, off to the left, a trail angling up the mountain.
As you ascend, immediately off to your right is a barely visible spur which can be discerned down the tree line. This is a strenuous hike, straight up the mountain. Fun, but a challenge!
Proceeding up the trail, you will come to a woods road at the top of Milford Cemetery. Take it toward and up the side of the mountain (steep, but at least it’s a road).
At the top, walk the short distance out to The Knob, and the splendid view of the town, the surrounding mountains and the river valley. (Note: This trail is also accessible from the Callahan House parking lot off Rt. 209. Leading away from the back of the House is a path above the Sawkill and along the earthen sluice, which once fed the ice house across the brook. It is a short way to the Mott Street Bridge and The Glen.)
