Description
Along with the Portage Trail, this trail connects the wilder eastern side of the park to the more developed western side of the park. The footbridge itself is stone, and is accessed from the north via stone steps. After crossing the Genesee River, climb at a more moderate grade via dirt trail toward either the Portage Trail or the road. Enjoy views of the Lower Falls.
