Rocky Run is a stream in northern New Castle County, Delaware.[6] The stream flows for several miles through Brandywine Creek State Park and part of First State National Historical Park before feeding the larger Brandywine Creek.[7][8][9] Rocky Run itself is fed by Hurricane Run, also located in Brandywine Creek State Park.[8]
