CLASS I-II 10.5 miles
The starting point is not too far from Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. The wonderful Delaware scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The Marshall Bridge Road to Route 41 stretch is the only paddling stretch along Red Clay Creek. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available very near the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. If you're a camper
you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came.
