About This Trail

This 2.6-mile moderate loop in Brandywine Creek State Park crosses Thompson Bridge over the Brandywine Creek, offering views upstream and downstream of the waterway that defined the Brandywine Valley’s industrial heritage. The rolling terrain through mixed hardwood forest features the hilly Piedmont landscape that distinguishes this park from Delaware’s flat coastal areas.
