gather at the river - View this location on map 'you can't visit the brandywine valley without spending some time on the water. wilderness canoe trips (302-654-2227) will provide the equipment, and a van puts you in on the pennsylvania side and picks you up downstream two hours later in delaware. but don't worry; the river does most of the work, leaving you free to enjoy the view of brandywine creek state park, where you might see deer, blue herons, turtles, carp and bass. you will need a state license to fish; two if you angle in both states. prices are $45 for a canoe or tandem kayak, $35 for a one-person kayak.''
