Shaw’s Bridge Park Trail

📍Shaw’s Bridge Park, West Chester, PA (Google Maps)

👣 The property includes a 1.5-mile loop of very flat trails that are gravel, dirt, and grass along the Brandywine Creek.

💚 I stumbled on this park thanks to a recommendation from a fellow participant in the walking club! ✨ The best kind of recommendation. ✨This path offers canoe access to the Brandywine Creek and allows dogs off-leash (though they have to be nearby so owners can manage them as needed). It’s perfect for all skill levels, so I’m sure it will make an excellent location for future Chadds Ford Walking Club outings.

Details to send in your recommendations and photos!

I’d love to get your recommendations and see photos of your hikes around the Brandywine Valley (or anything within about 60 minutes or so of Chadds Ford). If you’re willing to share your ideas and/or photos, reply to this newsletter to email them to me ([email protected]). If you send along photos, I’ll assume you’re ok with me sharing them in this newsletter unless you say otherwise. Thank you!!
