Once upon a time you would have had to splash through the creek and get your feet wet. Nowadays, you can jog easily across what is often called the "German Bridge," because a German Club funded its construction.

Cycling

This is sometimes called the German bridge, because it was funded by the German Club of Anchorage. It's a popular biking destination and non-technical enough that a confident rider can do it on almost any bike with good tires. There's even a bike rack here so you can park your ride and hike the rest of the way to Hidden Lake if you so desire. (Biking is only allowed on the south side of the bridge.)
