    Bridge

A short section of trail running along the west side of Tilbuster Ponds. Includes a small pedestrian gates either side of the bridge, which are often locked when not being used as part of an event, before dropping under the bridge along a section of decking and then along the creekbank.

Nothing too testing here apart from getting you and your bike over the gates when locked.
