Clues:
Take the Covered Bridge Trail down the hill to where it bends first to
the right then to the left spying the covered bridge through the trees.
Stop here for a brief history lesson about the rebuilding of the
bridge.  When you are finished turn around and proceed through the
bridge…careful not to step in horse droppings.  With 3 trails to pick
from take the one that keeps you out in the open.  Pass by a sign to the
right that welcomes you.  Continue uphill.  Eventually you will cross
over a driven road and pick up the trail on the other side.  Soon you
will reach a T in the trail, proceed on the one that reads 306*.  This
path will lead you down under the trees.  You’ll know you’re on the
right track if you spot a “Safety Zone”.  At the 2nd Safety Zone turn
your compass to 320* and let it point the way.  The lush canopy hugging
the trail will guide your way.  Follow the trail down through the canyon
and back up the other side.  This section will follow along the
Neshaminy Creek.  Pass by the “limbo” tree down and to the left of you.
You should now be getting closer to the water.  After descending the
hill stay on a heading of 24*.  The trail will take a sharp turn to the
right straighten out then turn right again bringing you closer to the
creeks edge.  Spy the tree that has a belly button.  Continue on until
you come to a “V”.  Standing at the point of the “V” turn back to the
direction from where you just came.  Look up to find the tall twin
trees.  Standing to the right of those trees what you seek is in the
tree at 225*.  After you stamped up you can return to the trail and
continue on a short distance to complete the loop hike.  This will bring
you back to the Covered Bridge.
