Lovely shortcut from LA to PA. A couple of things to watch out for: 1) near the LA end, the trail crosses a street. It's a cul-de-sac so traffic isn't an issue but the nearly curb shaped 'ramps' are worth noting. Also be careful going over the bridge as sightlines are limited and there could be other users
