Brandywine Creek State Park: A Piedmont Gem

Getting There

• Driving

  Brandywine Creek State Park is located north of Wilmington, Delaware. From I-95, exit onto Route 202 North. Turn left onto Mt. Lebanon Road, then right at the bottom of the hill. Cross the bridge and bear right; the park entrance is on the right. From Prices Corner/Newark, take Kirkwood Highway to Route 141 North, then Route 100 North. Turn right onto Adams Dam Road; the park entrance is on the left. Parking is available in designated lots. Expect to pay an entrance fee of $4 for Delaware residents and $8 for non-residents, in effect from March 1 to November 30.

• Public Transport

  DART First State provides bus service in the Wilmington area. Check DART's website or app for the most up-to-date routes and schedules to reach the park's vicinity. From the bus stop, you may need to walk or take a short taxi or ride-share to the park entrance. A one-way bus fare is $2. Exact change is required. Taxis or ride-shares from central Wilmington to the park entrance typically cost between $17 and $28, depending on distance and demand.

• Walking

  While walking to Brandywine Creek State Park is possible, it's best suited for those already in the immediate area due to the park's location outside of Wilmington. From nearby points, follow Adams Dam Road to the park entrance. Be aware that there may not be sidewalks available for the entire route.
