Brandywine Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Brandywine Trail is one of the most popular trails in the Brandywine Creek State Park. This trail parallels the eastern side of the river through the trees with several trails intersecting it, allowing you to make hikes of almost any length. If you wish to get closer to the water on hot summer days, you can take connector trails to the Creekside Trail, which is just a few hundred yards closer to the river.

First State National Historical Park (Brandywine Unit)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Brandywine Unit of the First State National Historical Park is located in northern Delaware's scenic Brandywine Valley, and characterized by rolling hills, woodlands, and the Brandywine River. You can hike to the Brandywine Creek State Park, which offers hiking, bird watching, and fishing across over 900 acres of meadows, forests, and streams. The Brandywine Unit preserves the landscapes that inspired artists like Andrew Wyeth, attracting visitors interested in both nature and art. You can also see the adjacent Ramsey Farm, an idyllic working farm south of First State National Historical Park.
