Bridgeview Nature Trail

Bridgeview North Entrance

Bridgeview Park is located in Petrolia, Ontario and I thought it was the perfect place to go for a trail run this afternoon.

Bridgeview Trail

The trail is wide and winds for two kilometers.

Bridgeview Leash

There is also a leash free dog run here.

Bridgeview Plaque

This plaque gives us some information about the Samson posts and towers that were used to drill for oil.

Bridgeview Historic Oil Field

There is a working Historical Oil Field right on this site. It was closed though so I couldn’t explore it further.

Bridgeview River

I kept running along the trail that runs alongside Bear Creek,

Bridgeview Road

down this dirt road,

Bridgeview Covered Bridge

and under this covered bridge.

Bridgeview Pond

The trail continued up at the top of the hill and ran along side a farmer’s field before it rejoined the main trail.

Bridgeview Tower

As you can see, night was already starting to fall at this point. That’s why the first shot in this post is so dark. It’s crazy how quickly that happens these days. Trail run season is just about over.
