This is an awesome preserve with full of greenery. The park offers a network of trails for walking or hiking around deep wooded areas and wetlands.Beautiful views, of waterways, and wild birds. The trails are well maintained and easy to follow. A peaceful place to appreciate natureGreat for picnic, hiking, biking and jogging.The garden here is beautiful with common flowers. It’s one of the best hot weather hikes in Delaware. This is a peaceful and less disturbed forest area, 933 acre preserve with trails all around. The hidden pond trail is great with lots of greenery’s, it’s a trail with shade and nice river with clean and fresh water but, just beware of spiders and mosquitoes.*Covid 19: they follow a wear mask on trails policy, but lots of people don’t but it’s spacious enough that you can avoid close contact.* Fee: $4 for in state registered vehicles and $8 for others. The parking is a bit limited.We had a great weekend coming here!!

Great place to hike around! Good for kids and dogs. I do suggest some solid supportive shoes as parts of the trails are covered in large rocks, easy way to sprain an ankle if your not careful. The river was pretty, water was super clear.

Large Park and well maintained. Too bad they keep extending the period of time you have to PAY$ entrance fees! What gives with that? Used to be memorial day to labor day. Now it is November!!! Not right at all. If you are Delaware resident it should be no charge in my opinion.

Went there to sketch and paint. I absolutely loved the black stone fences. I would love to come back earlier in the fall or in the spring. Went there with my dear daughter while she walked the trails.

If you are visiting the #BrandywineValley dont miss Brandywine Creek State Park. Ive been going all my life and its only gotten more enjoyable.

Wonderful trails in any season. Also consider water float via tube, kayak, canoe or paddle board for a new perspective. Parking is extremely limited, recommend weekday instead of weekends.

Love this place. You can picnic on the banks of the river then dip in to cool off. We always being the dogs and let them get in the water and hike. You can bring water shoes or tubes and makes your way down the river. Beautiful scenery. Just pay for parking.

Absolutely beautiful!! Taken care of, plenty of space, trails, and picnic tables in certain areas.

I really enjoyed the park. I started out near the Park Office and took the trail over to Thompsons Bridge. Form there I went down the Brandywine Trail to the Rockland Parking Lot Area. From there, I got on the Cross Country Course and got back to the office. There were alot of interesting trees and boulders along the way. The views of the Brandywine were also nice. The numerous stone walls along the way were also interesting.

We stopped briefly at Brandywine Creek state park. There is plenty of parking by the lot at Hawk Watch. Nice walking trails. Flushing toilets and porta potties available. We saw lots of families picnicking.

Great park to visit, plenty of parking. One thing that is unfortunate is that littering had gone up in the last two years. The park family oriented and creek fun for tubing which you see a lot of. A Lot of flooding lately with the weather changing. Almost didnt make it there last week because there was so much flooding along the roads to get there. Landenburg roads were closed off to the park, so ended up at Brandywine.

First time there, lived the area. Both improved and rugged trails. Beautiful creeks, trees, wildlife

The place is a good option for hiking and walking.Nice and scenic

Great hills. Get some nice throws for disc golf in the elevation

I went the day after the Hurricane. The Riverside trails were flooded but slowly and carefully passably

Great place for hiking and also mountain biking. Very well maintained. Parking space is also very impressive. They have a parking fee. For residents of Delaware it’s just $4 and for outsiders $8If you like to enjoy some romantic time with your partner or a family outing, this is a great choice. I’ve seen couple getting married here.

First time here in a long time and it is so peaceful. The fall foliage was such a sight to see.

Excellent atmosphere. Park is well laid out, patrons respectful, and park staff very helpful.

We took a walk starting from the Nature Center Trail, down to view Hidden Pond Loop. It was about a 45-minute shaded, relatively easy walk, with just a little uphill and downhill. There were access areas to the Brandywine Creek too.

We visited it during Memorial Day weekend. Awesome park! But it’s picnic tables were a bit dirty and had insects on them. This State park has a lot of greenery and is good for hiking, biking and walking or jogging. It has many open fields and it is quite a wide spread area with less people. The trails are missing markings hence you would get lost and move in circles; google map helps you get to parking bay!!Parking fees have started, $4 for state registered vehicle and $8 for out of state vehicles. There are multiple parking bays around the park.Overall, we had a great time in the park as it was less crowded and loads of greenery.Park is open for trails from sunrise to sunset.

One of my favorite parks in the area well maintained and so many trails

Need a place to get back to nature and go for a great hike, this is the place. The trails are very secluded but also well maintained. There are both challenging trails, very hill and others that are flat. A lot of parking lots.

The Brandywine State Park is a nice place to walk in the afternoon.

Its I really nice experience the lake isnt to far away so kid can retch it no problem

A great park if you like to take a walk in the woods and let your kids dip into a calm creek. Decent amount of elevation changes if you want to get your heart rate up on a brisk hike. My six and ten year old were able to make it without belly aching too much.

Beautiful and well kept state park! Its actually a part of the First State National Historical Park in the NPS system. Their visitor center has the national park passport stamps, just ask the employee, they keep the stamps behind the counter. Lots of wide open land to hike around in and they even have a very well cut and maintained disc golf course! Didnt get a chance to play disc golf here but it looks like an excellent course to play on with the slight changes in terrain. Also very close to Winterthur.

I love this beautiful park! Great trails, great large open fields, just amazing all around! 100% recommend!!

Great park with amazing brand new playground in really quiet neighborhood

Great park, multiple trails, all day fun!

Beautiful walking trail.

This was easy to find and convenient parking if you get there early. There are so many spots to get to the water and enjoy some time with friends or family.

Excellent place to go and still remain socially distant. Had a blast.

Great place to hike, relax and/or cook out. Only $4 per car, excellent deal!

Beautiful setting at the hawks watch for a simple civil elopement with Altared Vows by Taya #elopement #deweddings #delawareweddings #altaredvows

Beautiful and lots to do. You can play golf frisbee tubing fishing hiking and so much more. I love the bird watching.

Trails are awesome...water is clean.

One of the best state parks I have ever been to! Worth the drive!

Very clean, could maybe use a trim around the picnic tables. Grass was really high and couldnt really grill and enjoy because the grass was annoyingly long. Other than that i loved the scenery and our family enjoyed our walk.

Had a wonderful time...nice place for family picnic midst pandamic...kid enjoyed

Trails for all kinds of uses. Awesome trail running.

Slow ride down the river, great for kids. Very peaceful

Picturesque place with good infrastructure for biking, walking, trailing, and simply contemplating the beauties of nature. It’s more like plain, not rocky, what is good for riding a bike. Enjoyed the place and definitely will come back!

Beautiful place for every occasion. Nice long trails. I would not recommend for people who like paved trails. Great for mountain biking and fishing. These trails interconnect to many other trails so be sure to pay attention where you are.

Always a beautiful place to just hike, bike, or hang out on the river with the kids!

My family and I really enjoy this park. The Hidden Pond Trail is especially pleasant, with many scenery changes and various focal points of interest along the paths.We do however hate the excessively large and poorly places rocks, stones, and bricks (yes, even red household bricks) that line the path.It is very difficult to hike the main trail down to the creek, unless you take another route, like the Hidden Pond Trail.I dont ride mountain bikes, but its possible that this large main trail may favor them over just daily walks and hike.And, I have only been here twice. I will update my review as needed, after future visits.

Lots of trails and didnt have anywhere near enough time to properly explore. Personally did some of the hidden Creek trail which was fairly easy and doable with a 2 year old.

Excellent trails for walking, running or biking throughout the park. We enjoyed the main trail that runs next to the water. Fabulous scenery with very tall old trees and a nice stone bridge that crosses the river. The park used to be a farm owned by DuPont I believe I read on a sign there.

Great place to go just very busy today.

Some trails arent clearly marked, and the map that you see on the park website actually has more trails marked on it than the map you get at the office.Wonderful park regardless. Out of state parking was $8, you have to get an envelope and pull the receipt off and stick it in your window. Trails were mildly busy for a warm spring day. We and our dogs loved it.

Great trails, a cultural center, beautiful scenery. A perfect place to hike, run, barbecue, hang out with the family, birdwatch, you name it. Whether you love the outdoors or not, this is a great park.

This park beautiful and has nature filled bike and run trails.I would definitely recommend this place for someone who wants a break from regular busy routines.

Lost of tables for picnic and many great trails to hike!

Great park for hiking and definitely mountain biking. Trails arent really marked so go with someone who knows their way. Some really fun and challenging rock gardens, steep technical climbs, jump lines and plenty of flow. Something for everyone!

Wonderful park. Huge 900+ acres. Nice science center. Great big hill and massive woods with many trails. Leads to the edge of the Brandywine river with views of the mill. Great old stone walls go all throughout the park.

Nice trails, & picnic table areas. Toilets were closed, so they had three spot-a-pots. They were clean, but no sanitizer.

Nice piece of nature to go for a little hike/walk, bike ride, or do some kayaking. Its hilly, and has easier and more difficult tracks for biking and walking. You do have to pay a 4 dollar fee to park your car at the official parking though..

One of the most crisscrossy, non scenic, glass strewn hikes Ive ever done. Was thoroughly disappointed.

There are some beautiful trails of varying distances with good footing. My doggie approves, and there are bins at the trailheads for her. Dont leave anything behind, folks!

Great for beginner hikers an advanced hikers. Great scenery!

Great relaxing day with my honey and the pups

Absolutely beautiful!!!! From walking, running, bicycling, fishing, and tubing down the Brandywine!!! You can BBQ on the grills at the picnic area. ALL TIME FAMILY FAVORITE!!

Is it worth the $8 entrance fee for out of state visitors? Maybe one time. Is it worth is on a repeat visit? Nope! Plus they were out of maps at 930 am. Really? Trails were ok. Not much picture worthy atmosphere.

One of the toughest disc golf courses due to the hill. You constantly have to walk up and down it. I loved it and hated it at the same time

We had a great time walking the trails here. It was such a beautiful day. We got a chance to go down to the creek, my boys loved just throwing rocks in the stream. Once the trees come into full bloom it will be that much more of a jewel. We love our Delaware state parks. Its so worth the membership fee.

My family loves this park. It is such a big park with lush green landscapes and trees. Our children loves to visit this park in summers and their pumpkins events during November are attractions too. Great for arranging picnics and bringing group of kids they have many picnics tables set under the roof. If you are lucky enough you get to see some deers around. Perfect Natures beauty.

Super clean park with a paved trail and some off-road ones too. Definitely a great place to start if you want to dip your toes into hiking/nature walks. The creek also really adds to the peacefulness of the area. Definitely nice for running, biking, a picnic and so on.

We attended the First Day hike and the trails are in good condition. There is a nice nature center. Adequate parking. Looks like they have great year round & summer programs for all ages.

It was wonderful beautiful and interesting and tiresome walking up the hill

Adams Dam Rd entrance: (pictures) beautiful rolling landscape and trails. Picturesque rock border walls and fields. Beautiful, serene, open. No riverThompson Bridge Rd entrance: right along the river. Wading, picnicking, fishing, trails, also picturesque but much less open.

Great park, great paths and views.

It’s nice looking but there’s lots of trash

This is a beautiful park please keep it clean

Absolutely gorgeous place to hike, but not all trails are well marked. Using the AllTrails app is very helpful in staying on track though :) All in all, a lovely place to spend the day and enjoy the beautiful Brandywine Creek.

Have gone there since I was a child, always loved it. The trails are clean the views are amazing and summer time the water is great to float down with some friends

Nice place to get a little exercise while still practicing social distancing. You can walk or bike on your choice of paved paths or rock and dirt trails. The creek was clear as glass, some early flowers were in bloom and the crowd was sparse.

Beautiful State Park. Plenty of hiking. Hilly

Beautiful scenery, great view and peaceful silence.

Used All Trails to find the 5 mile Brandywine Creek Trail. It looped us along the creek so we enjoyed it on the way there and the way back. Toward the beginning of the trail, we were on the side of a road with no sidewalk, just a worn down, eroding path that was pretty dangerous. Other than that 1/4 mile stretch, it was a nice trail.

It was breath taking!!!

This is a Delaware treasure. It is a beautiful park with picnicking, a nature center, hawk watch, and miles of trails of varying levels of difficulty. Convenient and easily accessed.

Beautiful scenery, many trails to choose from. Entrance fee but not currently during COVID19

Great park not to far from my home. I cant wait to get out there more and shred the mountain bike trails. There are quite a few. And let me stress one more thing. Buy the DE state park sticker for your car. Its worth it. Dont be a scum bag and do everything you can to not buy one. Like parking in the street and walking into the park. That money goes into maintaining the parks. There I said my piece. Now go have some state park fun you kooks!

Great trails specially for kids (5+)

I like walking in the park . Its peaceful ,beautiful

A great Park to hike around . many trails of various grades to hike, jog, mountain bike or even horseback ride. With the adjoining First State National Park that goes into PA, there is infinite amount of trails to enjoy mother nature!

Great hiking, biking and frisbee golf course makes you work for it!!!

Lots of space to hike and ride. Wear a mask!

Nice park with walking trails in the midst of natural surroundings.

Amazing view beautiful crisp air

I have been running here since my cross country days...still very peaceful and beautiful. A lot of hills, but great if you are looking for that type of exercise!

Theres a very nicely maintained trail system here. Mostly single track with a couple of gravel, multi-use trails.You can easily get a 15 mile loop in here without hitting the same trail twice.Lots of different trail heads to park at. Some are paid lots and some are business lots.Plenty of options and plenty of variety as long as you like rocks and roots and technical terrain.Brandywine Bikes is just a few miles away in case you need a rental or a repair.Enjoy!

Beautiful park with amazing scenery!

Lots of wildlife and easy trails!

Great Mountain Bike trails that go very far back, there are more trails here than I can count

Easy well maintained trails. Great for leisurely strolls.

Swimming, kayakin, hiking, farmland with horses to view. Great trail.

Great disc golf course. Be prepared to walk strep hills though

Ive been going there for years. Disc golf course is amazing. Fishing, grilling, picnics and just pure nature is among beautiful landscape and views. If you ever get a chance to see the night sky from the hill tops, youll enjoy scenes of stars in the awesome galaxy of outer space.

Its really 2 parks in one with Brandywine Creek bisecting the park. One side has rolling hills, open pastures, and thick woods while the other runs along the creek with steep, wooded hills to one side.

Lovely place to walk! Great workout! Will be back soon.
