The National Map
, accessed April 1, 2011 stream located in
New Castle County, Delaware. It is a tributary of
White Clay Creek.
It rises on the edge of the
Belvedere subdivision on the outskirts of
Newport, Delaware and flows southward along the western edge of that town. To the west of the run lies Bread and Cheese Island, cut off by a partly filled back channel between Hershey Run and
Red Clay Creek. New Castle County's Pleasant Hills Park lies along the run in the vicinity of the junction with the back channel. At the southern end of the park, the run enters a
tidal marsh which extends to its mouth, near the end of the White Clay.
The nearby Koppers
railroad tie treatment plant heavily contaminated the run with
creosote.
