This is part of a series of paddle caches on the Main Branch of the Brandywine Creek. There is one puzzle cache so make sure you figure that one out before taking off. All of these caches can be found by canoeing/kayaking the creek. Please DO NOT try and get them from land because you will have to cross private property or dangerous roads to do so.
This was designed as a paddle series with the caches easily accessible from the creek. They are all within 5 ft of (or in/on) the creek unless otherwise specified so do not go wondering off into the woods! If you would like a PAF then please email us before venturing out and we will give you a cell#.
If you can please take along extra logs just in case they are wet. This area does flood often and you can check the river height Here. We hope you have as much fun finding them as EPAC had placing them, but above all - BE CAREFUL!
Although a PA Launch Permit is not required to paddle the Brandywine, a PFD for each occupant of the vessel is.
This is a 5 Stage multicache that mixes in with all the other caches along the creek so make sure you don't pass one of the stages or miss one of the traditional caches. This one starts at Shaws Bridge Park where the parking and put-in spot are located. They are very strict with the parking so please obey all signs. There are two dams that you will need to portage over while doing the series. The take out area is part of the Woodlawn Trust Property and has ample parking. Please be careful and check the water level and don't venture out if it is flooding conditions.
Hints:
