The next trail we have added to our continues "to do" list is the Mason Dixon Trail! We followed a bit of it from it's beginning this past fall, and we will work to complete it over time!
This hike will be the first section of the trail, between it's eastern terminus at Chadds Ford PA and White Clay Creek State Park in Delaware.
We will be meeting at 8:30 am on Sharpless Road in the White Clay Creek Preserve, London Tract Pa. This is a difficult spot to find, especially if you are trying to use a GPS. Many GPS units will not find this place by putting in an address, so here are the coordinates:
39.750094,-75.771382
We will shuttle as few cars as possible to the beginning from here, and proceed to follow the Brandywine Trail the short distance to the eastern terminus of the Mason Dixon Trail.
The trail passes close to the Brandywine Creek, through lovely woods and over puncheons, then continues onto the rural backroads of Chester County PA. It then crosses into Delaware, and back into PA to White Clay Creek Preserve.
Much of this section of the Mason Dixon Trail is routed along back roads, but much of it is designated as a national scenic byway, so even those should be nice. The great news is that we are doing this hike just after a major re-routing that has taken much of the Mason Dixon Trail off of roads! Here is a link to info:
