Reviewed by MLS on 8/17/2007 Nice hike with kids- but the gradual slope downhill at the beginning can lead to a surprise when the steeper uphill portion appears around a corner.
Reviewed by Steve E on 8/30/2005 You can also take the trail along the west bank of the Brandywine creek North and cross Thompsons bridge to a continuation of the park on the east bank and more trails some of which have some pretty overlooks. There is a paved trail and a less travelled creek side path that parallel the east side of the creek and can be taken to a southern bridge, which in turn can be crossed to meet up with the trail running along the west bank of the creek... so you can easily do a 5+ mile loop if you want.
