I nice suspension bridge that crosses Oil Creek inside of Oil Creek State Park (visit link) You can reach the bridge by hiking down either side of the creek and turning down hill when you see the sign for the bridge. You can also take the bike trail but you will have to park your bike at N 41° 35.686 W 079° 38.737 and walk the rest of the way because bikes are not allowed on the hiking trail. A large portion of the bridge had to be replaced a few years ago when the ice was pushed up so high that it actually reached the bridge and caused large amounts of damage.You will definitely feel some movement as you cross the bridge. You are on a "Hiking" trail on your way here so wheelchairs are out I am afraid.
Trail Name: Gerard Hiking Trail
Approximate Length of Bridge: 150
Obstacle: There is a hiking trail taking you to the bridge with ups, downs, rocks and roots.
