델라웨어 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Small slice of local history just one trail away. Great little adventure to ride by.

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

The board walk takes you down to Wilmington and passes by several nice restaurants, some that offer outdoor eating if you want to keep eyes on your bike.

Nice single track through the woods. Some of it is a bit rough on a gravel bike, but certainly passable. I think I would prefer this track on a mountain bike, but still a good ride.

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.

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.

In the Brandywine Park, the "Augustine Cut-off" features three significant bridges: a small pedestrian suspension bridge within the park, the stone arch CSX Brandywine River Railroad Bridge built in 1910 by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and the Augustine Bridge, a truss bridge originally built in 1885 for railroad use and converted to vehicular traffic in 1920. This area, historically notable for its water-powered industry and designed in part by Frederick Law Olmsted, is just downstream from the Augustine Paper Mill complex. The mill, with its seven 19th-century stone buildings, is largely replaced by modern construction, though Building 7, a three-story mill with thick stone walls and a slate roof, survives. It was acquired by the Container Corporation of America in 1942, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and redeveloped into a gated condominium complex in 1985.

Brandywine Park in Wilmington, Delaware, established in 1886, was the first city park developed by the city of Wilmington, Delaware and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Spanning approximately 178 acres on both sides of Brandywine Creek, it features walking trails and scenic views down the water, and over several gardens and green spaces. The park includes wilderness areas, formal gardens (a rose garden and a cherry blossom garden), and active recreational facilities like playgrounds, athletic fields, and the Abessinio Stadium. It also houses the Brandywine Zoo, which occupies 4.75 acres in the southeastern part of the park.
