This junction marks your option to branch off the main Gerard Hiking Trail and descend toward Oil Creek via the West Side Trail. Take this spur for access to the historic swinging bridge, a beloved photo spot that sways gently over Oil Creek, offering scenic views and a touch of adrenaline. The trail also passes remnants of old oil wells and industry ruins—key markers in the story of Pennsylvania’s oil boom. It’s a rewarding detour for history buffs and creekside explorers alike.
