The Oasis at Brandywine Falls

Was taking a Sunday drive when we realized we were out of water and needed to stop somewhere. Then we found this little place! What a great idea for bike riders needing a rest. Or, of course, a driver who forgot to pack water bottles!

I left you the little blue note today I hoped you received it. The place was wonderful, honor system, absolutely amazing.

A great self-serve(honor system) place next to Brandywine Falls. These refreshments are free. It's awesome on a hot day when you're walking or biking on the trail. Such generosity is hard to find these days. I applaud you and thank you

Genius place. I love it. My son loves those popsicles thank you very much and the water was very much needed and I love the little towel that's there for their little sticky hands when they're done with those popsicles. We loved sitting on that little bench there taking a break and I loved how you have a little dog water bowl. Our dog went back several times for water and I love that you're using the water from the ice. Genius

Seriously?? Self-serve, honor system - refreshments on the trail 35 miles into a hot and tiring ride! What an amazingly generous and kind and “refreshing” idea! No better way to build community, goodwill, and “love thy neighbor” karma. THANK YOU!

Must see

Great place to stop when you hiking or riding and you are thirsty.

Nice stop on a hot day!

Thankful for the inexpensive water and popsicles on a hot day!

Not a bad spot. Well maintained. Fairly easy trails and hiking. Parking fills up so be advised. Imagine in the winter it could be sketchy.

Pictures don't do it justice. After planning our CVNP trip, I had seen many photos of Brandywine Falls from reviews. While I try not to set expectations, in the back of my mind I was thinking we'd visit the falls because it's a top thing to do at the park, but wasn't thinking it would be that impressive. After seeing the falls in person, it was one of my favorites stops at the park. The falls appeared bigger than what I had expected from pictures, and the amount of water going over was fairly impressive. There is a lower overlook, an upper overlook, and another overlook from a gristmill area (didn't do the last one). It's a two minute walk from the parking lot, although you can hike a trail to make it a little bit more of an adventure. Attended with family of three kids (ages 6-11); boardwalks were all enclosed - no fear of heights in case anybody is wondering. Went on a Friday late afternoon in April and pretty much had the entire falls to ourselves (was maybe two other couples there). Spent maybe 20 to 30 minutes enjoying the area.

We went here to see the falls and enjoyed a approximately 1 mile loop hike. It’s well worth your time. The trail On the far side of the gorge from the parking lot can be a little rough if you are older or have disabilities. But is very moderate for a person in decent health. We enjoyed the views and seeing the falls from both sides of the gorge and the short hike. If you are in the area this is a must see!

Found this hidden gem as we passed through Ohio. Nice short walk to the falls with beautiful views. My kids and I jumped the fence and hiked down to the base of the falls. Amazing! Don’t miss this!
