5, 10K rated 2B This rating includes some moderate hills and well-groomed trails.
This walk begins at the Weddle Covered Bridge. This well maintained bridge is now a pedestrian bridge that once spanned Thomas Creek near Scio, Oregon. The bridge was set to be destroyed in 1980 but local people objected, and a program was developed through the State to save the bridge. It was removed from its original place and re-assembled in Sweet Home in 1989.
This walk goes along a trail that was once a local rail system that served a local lumber mill. From this walk you'll see views of the foothills of the Cascade Mountains.
