The Schneider Farm Spur Trail at the Delware Water Gap National Recreation Area in Dingmans Ferry, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.8 mile out-and-back trail that leads to the McDade Trail in the northern portion of the park.
The gravel trail leads through farm lands with a plethora of wildflowers and is mostly flat. As you hike in, you'll first pass a set of metal barriers meant to keep vehicles out. About 0.2 miles from the metal barriers, you'll find a left-hand turn - this is the McDade Trail. You can continue left or right at the trail junction to continue along the McDade, which passes through more farmlands, forests, and the Delware River.
Parking can be found right off of PA-2028 - look for the large brown sign labeled "McDade Trail" at the parking coordinates provided; however, don't be confused by the several other brown signs labeled "McDade Trail" that are spread miles apart along PA-2028.
