Bridge Creek (on the Old Wagon Road)
Length: 5.4 Miles (10.8 miles round trip) | Difficulty: Easy-Moderate
The Old Wagon Road that was built to service the prospecting community of Bridge Creek has long been rerouted, but it now makes a very gentle and quite pleasant hike. The grade of this trail is fairly flat and easy to hike, but due to the distance you will have to travel to get to the end, we put this in the moderate category.
Be sure to continue past the campground to the actual bridge at Bridge Creek. The water features here are beautiful, and there is a great pool to swim in on a hot summer day.
The trail splits shortly after you get on it. The left path will take you 3.5 miles to Bridge Creek Camp. If you stay right on the trail you will connect to the Howard Lake trail system, from which you can access Howard Lake, McGregor Mountain, or High Bridge.
To find the trailhead catch the shuttle to High Bridge and continue up the road for another 1.5 miles. The Old Wagon Road trail will take off on your right.
