HIKE DISTANCE: 
These two hikes are a 3-mile drive away from one another.
Binky Lee Preserve, PA With Pickering Creek Bridge-to-Bridge Trail - 3.8 miles

THE HIKE:
Because Brodie had already hiked 7.4 miles at Bryn Coed Preserve, it wasn't too warm yet and it was getting VERY muddy,  he stayed in the car for this hike.
Heading up the walk to the trails on the right.
Going right to loop around the preserve counterclockwise.
The raised Mill Brook Trail goes into West Pineland Township open space property.
A side trail to the right ...
... leads to Pickering Creek.
Continuing on the Mill Brook Trail ...
... back into Binky Lee Preserve.
Really, really muddy.
Like others had apparently done before me, I opted to road walk the last little bit to ...

... a right on Pikeland Road.
I looked back at the road I had just come off of and oops, I had no idea.  Looked like a road to me.  Sorry!
It's a short distance on Pikeland Road ...
... over the bridge to ...
... the Bridge-to-Bridge Trail at the other end of the guardrail.
There are a few side trails to views of Pickering Creek but the creek cannot be seen from the trail.

This is what the entire trail looks like.
That section of land jutting out behind the tree straight ahead is where I stood on the other side previously.
Coming up on the bridge at the other end of the trail ...
... where the rest was completely flooded out.
Heading back.
Coming off of the trail and crossing the field back to ...
... the first bridge.
Walking back on Pikeland Road.
A few steps after that private road a trail just around that pole enters back into Binky Lee Preserve.
