The Swinging Bridge Trail and Aspen Trail have a common starting point that is along the park road near Lakeside Center. Approximately 300' up the hill, along the woods line, is a post trail marker for both trails. The swinging bridge is over 40' in length and adds an interesting highlight to your outdoor experience. Note the remains of a coal bank under the bridge, testimony of the early days of mining in Indiana County. Trail time is 35-40 minutes, and you will return to your starting point.
Trail markers are orange.
Estimated hiking time is 50-60 minutes. Be sure to reduce your pace as you enter the crest growth of young aspen trees. Deer, bear, grouse, and many types of bird life enjoy this environment. The trail ends along the park road near the area of the Getty Run Trail. Getty Run Trail is located at the east end of the park lake and can be very easily accessed from the playground or the park road.
