Brandywine Gorge Trail Details

Built primarily by Cuyahoga Valley Trails Council Volunteers in the early 1990s, this charming trail follows an abandoned farm road that must have once traveled around the Brandywine village mill. After forging Brandywine Creek, or hopping over the large millstones placed across it, the trail follows the hemlock-lined ravine before it eventually joins the Stanford Trail. Take caution: while the trail is stunning during periods of high water, the creek becomes impassible.
