The Brandywine Creek State Park features stone wall constructed during the latter part of the 1800’s out of local stone, back when the grounds were owned by the dairy farm du Pont family. The now state park includes three different nature preserves. These include the state of Delaware’s first nature preserve, Freshwater Marsh, and the Tulip Tree Woods. Anglers can try their luck fishing for crappie, bluegill, and smallmouth bass in the Brandywine Creek. Other popular activities in Brandywine Creek State Park include tubing, kayaking, canoeing, photography, hiking, and wildlife viewing, as well as cross-country skiing and sledding in winter.
