The trail in Centerville Canyon crosses Deuel Creek at least 13 times. Each time the trail crosses the creek you either have to jump the creek or get wet. To make it easier to navigate, there are now 11 log footbridges placed at key crossings.
The footbridges have a slight slope so that it does not collect water, but be careful especially during springtime – the runoff can be heavy. I put metal mesh on the wood to prevent slipping when the wood gets wet.
As you near the 5 mile mark, you will see two creeks join. I believe we need two more footbridges before you reach that 5 mile mark.
The trail continues another 2 miles before you reach the road at Skyline Drive. Skyline connects Farmington with Bountiful. The road follows along the top of the canyon.
This picture is the first log foot bridge I built. It took me 5 weekends to complete. It is the first foot bridge you will cross on the north trailhead (fourth on the south trailhead).
