It was impressive especially since it doesn\u2019t carry cars, just bikes and pedestrians. And maybe carriages, since we were riding on the carriage roads. It was clearly built with people in mind. Little balconies jutted out on either side for viewing from above and an elaborate staircase allowed access to the brook.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/img_9122-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/img_9122-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/img_9122-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/img_9122-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Duck Brook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/img_9123-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/img_9123-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14077\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/img_9123-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/img_9123-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Staircase down to the brook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also rode around Eagle Lake.
