Camino training hike on the last no-fee day at Brandywine Creek State Park
Brandywine Creek State Park, 4244 Wilsons Run Rd,, Wilmington, DE, USThis hike is recommended for those seeking to train for the Camino de Santiago in Spain, and for those who are interested in discovering it.
About 4.6 miles in length, the Brandywine Creek River loop trail follows both sides of the river with two bridge crossings. The terrain is mostly wooded and flat, with only 236 ft elevation gain and a tiny bit on the roadside. Hiking poles are highly recommended at this time of the year, as is waterproof footwear.
Lunch afterwards will be at Buckley's Tavern. Buckley's has very limited parking. We encourage carpooling.
In order to cut down on messaging, we are not allowing guests this time. We encourage your guests to sign up with their own account.
