Description

Added by The Outbound Collective

Brandywine Park Loop is a 2.2 mile loop hike that is good for all skill levels located near Wilmington, Delaware.

It’s a great spot for a quick run or hike. If you want to extend your time outdoors after you’ve completed the loop, there are other trails to choose from as well. The park is dog friendly, but all dogs must be leashed.

Many enjoy this park for its scenic river and bridge views. The well-tended rose garden is also a major plus. It’s the perfect place to escape the city sidewalks for a little.

Parking is easy and plentiful. Bring your kids or friends for a daytime stroll or a picnic on the grass.
