Philadelphia Canoe Club

Trip, Changed to the East Brandywine Creek

  • 30 Sep 2023
  • 10:00 AM
  • East Brandywine Creek, Downingtown PA

The East Brandywine is a pleasant small stream that weaves in and out of farms, woods and parks/land preserves.   It is typically no more than 100' across, with lots of ripples and easy class 1 rapids.  It requires a similar skill level to the original Delaware River trip.  Anticipated trip time for this 10-mile paddle is approximately 4 hours.  We will take breaks and eat lunch along the way.  The East Brandywine is approximately 50 minutes from the Philadelphia Canoe Club.

Trip changed to the East Brandywine due to the forcasted high water levels on the  Delaware River, Tinicum Park to Lambertville.

Paddle this pretty section of the Delaware River lined by wooded bluffs and rock cliffs. This section of the river has smooth waters and simple well-spaced riffles and class 1 rapids. Anticipated trip time for this 15-mile paddle is approximately 5.5 hours.    We will take breaks and eat lunch along the way.  The Delaware river is approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes from the Philadelphia Canoe Club.

Participants must be American Canoe Association (ACA) members and complete an ACA online waiver.  ACA membership provides liability insurance for club events. Uncertain if you have a waiver?  Log into the ACA Website, click “My Profile” and “Date Annual Waiver Expires”.  If it is expired or has never been done click here to complete a waiver.  Non-ACA members are encouraged to join and complete an annual waiver before the trip.  The $40 membership provides insurance for Club events for the next year.  The day of the trip ACA members without an annual waiver (bring your ACA membership number) and non-ACA members can complete a paper waiver.  Non-ACA members must pay $10 in cash for a one-day event membership.
