From the Parking lot off of Thompkins Bridge Road, cross the
road and take the old road/trail north. At the Bike trail sign take
the single track steep trail off to the right until you come to a
larger trail (see trail junction waypoint). Go to the right a short
distance. The cache is about 75 feet off of this trail. The cache
is only 0.2 miles from parking as the crow flies, but a longer hike
with signficant elevation gain. It can be shorter with a much
longer steep uphill bushwhack. Using the trails is recommended.
After finding this cache, follow the main trail north to
Brandywine #2
From March 1 to November 30 day use park entrance fees are

The Delaware Geotrail would like to thank Brandywine Creek State
