The beautiful scenery of New Castle County and the cool fresh water have people coming here. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your camping stuff too. There are nice comfortable hotels here, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The put-in location is a short drive from Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, as you can see on the road map further down. The Marshall Bridge Road to Route 41 stretch is the only paddling stretch along Red Clay Creek. The Marshall
Bridge Road to Route 41 section of Red Clay Creek is 10.5 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-II section. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people.
