Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Tucked beneath a canopy of hardwoods, this sturdy wooden footbridge crosses a rocky, seasonal stream bed—one of several charming crossings along the Gerard Trail. Whether the stream below is flowing or dry, the bridge offers a quiet pause in the forest, perfect for a water break, a photo, or simply soaking in the lush, fern-dotted surroundings. Keep an eye out for salamanders and other small wildlife near the cool, shaded rocks below.

Gerald & Westside Trail junction

Highlight • Trail

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.
