Pennsylvania has added Delaware to the list of states on its travel warning list. If you travel to Delaware, you are expect to self quarantine for 14 days upon your return to Pennsylvania. Under these circumstances, we cannot take an official Batona hike into Delaware at this time.
A hike in French Creek will be added for this Sunday, July 19. Please join us there.
10 miles. Arrive at the trailhead by 10:15 A.M. The hike will start by 10:30. Trailhead GPS coordinates are 39.834133,-75.575542. To get to the trailhead if you don't use GPS coordinates, find the intersection of Routes 1 and 202 on a map. Smithbridge Road crosses Rte. 202 just a short distance east of Rt. 1. Go south on Smithbridge Road toward Delaware. Turn left just before the covered bridge onto Brandywine Creek Road. Just past where Beaver Dam Road comes in on your left, you will see a parking lot on your right between the road and the creek. Park at the further end, where it’s shadier in the afternoon. We'll cover well shaded trails through varied terrain, on both sides of the Brandywine Creek and along Rocky Run, as we make a series of loops through this beautiful park. A face mask is required and must be used when social distancing is difficult. RSVP is required: https://www.meetup.com/Batona-Hiking-Club/ or call leader. Hiking boots recommended. Bring lunch and water. Cost: $1.00. Leader: Abbie Wysor,
