This is the trailhead for The McGilvray “ Seven Bridges Road”. Good parking. This trail leads west to the Black River through a maze of wetlands full of wildlife and flora. There were originally seven bridges. The westernmost of the seven bridges , which once crossed the main channel of the Black River, is now gone, so only six bridges remain.
