Plenty of Delawareans have hiked through Brandywine Creek State Park during the day, in all weather. It’s one of the most popular Delaware state parks for a good reason! The meadows are beautiful, the hills provide a break from the typical sea-level Delaware experience, and the critters you’ll find on the trail are entertaining and unique. Well, now there’s a new reason to get excited about Brandywine Creek State Park! This spring, Delaware State Parks have started a program for nature lovers, photographers, and hikers alike – their Starry Night Hike program.
If you’ve hiked the meadows here in the past, you’re in for a totally new experience.
