Brandywine Creek State Park is a state park, located 3 miles above Wilmington, Delaware along the Brandywine Creek. Open year-round, it is 933 acres (4 km²) large and, before becoming a state park in 1965, was a dairy farm owned by the DuPont family. It contains the first two nature preserves in Delaware.
Fourteen miles of trails run the the park, the largest being the Rocky Run Trail and the Greenways Trail. Brandywine Creek has a large population of bass, and Wilson's Run is known for its trout. Nearby parks include White Clay Creek State Park and, in Pennsylvania, White Clay Creek Preserve.
