Delaware is a stunning state, despite the fact that much of it gets overlooked in favor of the beaches. One of our most beautiful state parks, Brandywine Creek State Park, is worth exploring if you truly enjoy spending time outdoors.
There are more than 1,000 acres of beautiful, preserved land here, with a mix of trails that are a mix of paved, rocky, and rough.
