White Clay Creek Preserve

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The White Clay Creek Preserve is a state park along the valley of White Clay Creek in Chester County, Pennsylvania, near the Mason-Dixon line. On the Delaware side of the line, adjacent to the park, is White Clay Creek State Park. The 1,255-acre park was donated by the DuPont Company in 1984 for the purpose of "preserving the diverse and unique plant and animal species, and the rich cultural heritage of the area".

There are several points of historical interest in the Preserve, includind the Yeatman Mill House, a very prosperouus mill, is located in the now-extinct town of Yeatman, Pennsylvania.

The park offers hunting, hiking, fishing, biking, cross-country skiing, and horseback riding. There is also a three-mile-long hiking trail throuh the northern portion of the White Clay Creek Preserve.

The Mason-Dixon Trail uses Preserve trails, starting at Lot 1, to reach the Delaware border and enter White Clay Creek State Park.
