Welcome! In order to get to my locations, we’ll have to take a walk through other parts of Centennial Woods first. All the pictures here are from a hike I took on October 21st. First, we’ll start at the entrance to Centennial Woods. From there, we need to follow the main path until we see a clearing with two paths. We’re going to take the path that goes straight, towards the stream. We’re going to continue on this path until the path splits apart once more. Once we see this fork in the road, we’re going to take the path that leads straight forward, which will lead us to some wooden boards on the ground. Now, we’re going to take the path to the left. While walking during this part, you’re going to want to watch your step since it’s easy to lose your balance from the steepness of it. I know because I fell during this part of my journey the first time.
We’re almost at our first location!
All we have to do now is finish walking down the steep banks and voila! We’ve found the bridge! Surrounding the bridge are tall plants that look like wheat or corn, but aren’t. There are also some small trees nearby. I don’t recommend coming here on a rainy day. It’s very slippery! That being said here are some pictures I took on a rainy day on the bridge.
I definitely look forward to returning to this location in the springtime to see how the water levels of the stream change.
On to our next stop!
Now that we’ve explored the bridge thoroughly, let’s hit the road again! We’re just going to go back up to the path we came from. We’re then going to follow the path further away from where we came and go down a small hill.
We’ve arrived!
This area is very flooded, so I hope you’re wearing waterproof shoes! There are some logs you have to step over to get to the rest of the bridge. The entire area looked gloomy because it was a rainy October day, but I still enjoyed it. The water at this location was completely still, unlike the one we visited beforehand. There are plenty of plants growing in and around the water. They definitely can withstand lots of water.
Congratulations! You’ve finished the hike!
Now that we’ve finished viewing both of the locations, the only thing left to do is go back the way we came towards Centennial Woods’ entrance.
