Summary: The day ended up being another rainy day, received over 2 inches rain. It was a good time to get out and check out the streams and falls. It ended up pouring through the entire hike, well worth it when I got to the falls. The trail starts out by going through a old colonial town (Millbrook) that was restored. Every October they do a reenactment in the village and bring it back to life. After going through the village I got onto the VanCampens Glen Trail that takes you through an awesome ravine. With all the rain it was gushing and some sections of trail were underwater. Once out of the Ravine you go through some old farm fields and then along the Delaware River through a landslide that occurred not long ago. I ended by bushwhacking up a Ravine were I found a real nice water fall.

Reviewed by Local Hiker on 4/19/2009 I have done this hike several times, but in the oppostie diretion. Instead of parking at Millbrook Village continue on Old Mine Rd. to Van Campen Glen parking area a couple of miles on the left. Park and follow the trail along the water. Eventually you get to the waterfall which pools at the bottom. You can climb up next to it and continue along the trail looking down into the ravine. You continue to follow the trail and will end in Millbrook Village. I have hiked this in the winter and it is beautiful with the ice and the snow, especially at the falls. Even my no-hiker teenage daughter enjoyed this for the views. Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
