White Clay Creek - Middle Run Natural Area & Beyond

4 hours, 10-13 miles, small hills, great trails, not rocky, meadow, forest, incredible vistas,

White Clay Creek is a super park with over 70 miles of connecting trails in PA, DE, MD. It's only about an hour from Philly and well worth the visit. Middle Run Natural Area, though bounded on several sides by White Clay Creek,is not part of this larger park. It's actually a whole lot nicer.

The hike involves two loops. One loop take us through Middle Run Natural area, which is has absolutely incredible parts. There are many hills, though none super steep. Lots of twist and turns. The other loop is through one part or another of White Clay Creek.
