No one is absolutely certain of the exact spot where Laura Secord struggled across Twelve Mile Creek on her fateful trek to warn the British of an impending American invasion, but most bets are on a meandering stretch of the historic watercourse that's now within the borders of Short Hills Provincial Park.

Here, in a likely spot identified by Brock University historian Alun Hughes and others [i], the Friends of Laura Secord (FLS) commissioned the installation of a unique, low-impact suspension footbridge to allow hikers to follow in Laura Secord's famous footsteps. And thanks to the generousity of a mysterious private benefactor and the contributions of a local community-minded construction firm, the bridge is now a reality.

The new footbridge is part of the Laura Secord Heritage Trail, a permanent 32-km long hiking trail from Queenston to DeCew House which is being established this year to mark the bicentennial of Laura Secord's famous trek.
