DESCRIPTION | Primarily a tubing place, very popular on a hot summer day. This description from a fan:" Put-in on RT 100 south of the Brandywine River Museum, get out whenever you get too wrinkled or the beer runs out, usually at Smith Bridge or Thompson's Bridge. Tubing on the Brandywine, while more linear than a swimmin' hole, is a whole string of holes that let the current swim you." TUBING INFO(See also BRANDYWINE in Pennsylvania) |
