The Ingram’s Mill Nature Area is a 36-acre park on the East Branch Brandywine Creek with a small parking area at 680 North Creek Road. This tranquil creek-side park was named after the stone mill that once stood nearby on the banks of the Brandywine. Ingram’s Mill provides access for fishing or launching rafts and paddle craft. The paddle distance from this park downstream to Harry J. Waite Jr. Nature Area is approximately 1.8 miles and passes through the Natural Lands’ Stroud Preserve. Please obey all posted park rules at Ingram’s Mill Nature Area. Portable grills are prohibited and vehicles may only park within the designated parking area.
