The Majestic West Woodstock Bridge: A Scenic Marvel

Getting There

• Walking

  From the center of Woodstock, head southeast on Elm Street towards the Ottauquechee River. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with Route 4. Cross over Route 4, and you will see the entrance to the scenic walking path along the river. Follow this path, which runs parallel to the river, for about half a mile. Keep an eye out for signs directing you to West Woodstock Bridge. The bridge will be visible as you approach it, located over the Ottauquechee River.

• Biking

  If you have a bicycle, start at the Woodstock Village Green. Head south on Central Street, which turns into Route 12. After about 0.3 miles, you'll reach the intersection with Route 4. Turn right onto Route 4, and carefully bike along the shoulder. After approximately 0.5 miles, you will see a pathway leading to the Ottauquechee River on your left. Take this path and follow it to West Woodstock Bridge, which is a short ride from the main road.

• Public Transport

  While there are no direct public transport routes to West Woodstock Bridge, you can take the local shuttle service from the Woodstock Village Center. Board the shuttle and request a stop at the closest point to the Ottauquechee River. From there, follow the walking trail along the river to reach West Woodstock Bridge. Be sure to check the shuttle schedule in advance to plan your visit.
