Iron Footbridge at Berks Leisure Area - Wyomissing, PA - Truss Bridges on Waymarking.com

When you pull into the Berks Leisure Area, and you see the old stone Sheeler house, you might think that there is more history here than that house. And you would be right. Take a stroll down the trail past the picnic pavillion and you will see this picturesque bridge.
From the Berks County website (visit link) :
The iron and wood footbridge provides access to the Union Canal Bicycle and Walking Trail on the opposite side of Tulpehocken Creek. This bridge marks the location of a mule bridge that was used in conjunction with the operation of the Union Canal. Crossing over the bridge from the Berks Leisure Area, the remains of lift Lock No. 51 of the Union Canal can be found.
