Brandywine Falls - Gorge Trail
About This Trail
The 1.5-mile Brandywine Gorge Trail lets you explore beyond the waterfall. It starts near the bed & breakfast and follows the edge of the gorge, eventually taking you down to creek level. The trail is worth revisiting in the spring to view vernal pools that temporarily fill with water, attracting breeding salamanders. The views of the creek and the layers of rock it has exposed are also worth the walk.
To avoid limited parking we also recommend hiking from Stanford House to Brandywine Falls. This trail is 3.8 miles through the woods with plenty of wildflowers and scenery. Take this hike to view Brandywine Falls and return back to Stanford House.
