White Clay Creek Preserve

The 1,388-acre White Clay Creek Preserve is in southern Chester County, three miles north of Newark, Delaware. The White Clay Creek Valley, which forms the core of the preserve, varies from steep to gradually falling terrain with some flat bottomlands, all drained by the creek.

White Clay Creek Preserve shares boundary with White Clay Creek State Park of Delaware.

Because White Clay Creek possesses outstanding scenic, wildlife, recreational, and cultural value, it has been designated by Congress as a National Wild and Scenic River, and shall be preserved in free-flowing condition for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations.

DCNR's mission is to conserve and sustain Pennsylvania's natural resources for present and future generations' use and enjoyment. 

As Pennsylvania's leader and chief advocate for conservation and outdoor recreation, DCNR will inspire citizens to value their natural resources, engage in conservation practices, and experience the outdoors.
