About This Trail
A 1.9-mile hike crossing the park’s iconic suspension bridge over Sugar Creek, connecting to scenic creek-corridor walking through old-growth forest. The bridge provides elevated views of the creek valley, and the mostly moderate terrain makes this one of the park’s most accessible canyon experiences.
