Great place for a trail run. Nicely shaded and easy to access. Be prepared to pay for parking.

Great parking area to start a hike, walk or ride. It’s a pay honor system.

Some days the bugs here are absolutely atrocious, other days you could hang out there all day. If you’re hiking or want to explore it for a bit, might be worth having but spray.

The loop around is 1.1 miles. Not overly crowded, so can be a fun spot to do some laps and compare times.

Beaver Valley is a beautiful, bucolic area that spans the Pennsylvania-Delaware border in Delaware County, PA, and New Castle County, DE. Much of this area falls within the First State National Historical Park and is adjacent to Brandywine Creek State Park, which you can walk to via scenic hiking trails. Most of these trails are open for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, birdwatching, and cross-country skiing. Birders often come to the area to observe numerous migratory and resident bird species. This is a fantastic, beautiful place to explore when visiting Brandywine Creek State Park or First State National Historical Park; if you hike up to Beaver Valley, you can tell people that you've walked to Pennsylvania!

Rocky Run is a stream that flows for several miles through Brandywine Creek State Park and feeds into the larger Brandywine Creek. Rocky Run itself is fed by Hurricane Run, which is also located in Brandywine Creek State Park. The Rocky Run Trail, a popular, challenging trail, crosses both of these streams in the shaded woods.

The Alexander Ruins are just off the side of the trails. Like a lot of the ruins in the area, they are pretty beat down and not a lot is left to see.
