wiggly bridge and steedman woods

With only a few parking spaces, it makes this area a nice quiet place. When the tide is right you can picnic and swim, walk the paths and fish. a little slice of heaven in York.

Take my grandchildren there every year to fish. My grandson still remembers the year he almost caught 'THE BIG, BIG BASS"!!Fun nature trail through the woods. Grandkids (7 and younger) thought it was great.

Best part of the wiggly bridge is getting there, along the "fisherman's path" by the York River and some of the grand old houses.

We went there in September when the summer folks were gone, but we weren't quite sure where to park. Where we ended up parking said it was permit parking, but we weren't ticketed. Otherwise, this was a lovely place!

This is great place to walk and explore with your kids. Ours 2 + 4. We did need to hold their hands over the bridge but the woods are manageable for the little guys. Right now there are a bunch of teepees made out of fallen branches in an area and our boys loved explore and playing in them. There is parking right outside the entrance which made our visit very convenient.

A very leisurely walk on the bridge across the water with the autumn colors on the trees which were amazing.

Very scenic little walk between water and boats on two sides. Saw a huge starfish right by the bridge, then hiked a short path through the woods. Enjoyed the sunset from here too. Very nice.

You are never too old for the Wiggly Bridge! We introduced our teen-aged granddaughter to the Wiggly Bridge this summer and though she may have been 'technically' too old to 'really' enjoy the benefits of the wiggle, as the children did who crossed before her - I saw her jump up and down a few times so she could do it by herself! HAHA!!! It's a pretty little spot with people fishing, and families 'hiking' through Steedman Wood which is actually a very short walk but quite pretty, with views of first, the river and then the ocean. There are "tepees" of dead wood stacked up along the trail that made for interesting conversation and much easier walking. Parking is very limited as most is by permit only - obtainable from the Town of York, but if you get there early enough - no problem to park in the "non permit" area. We left our car there and walked the fairly short Fisherman's Walk, too.

We have been stopping to walk at the Wiggley bridge for over 25 years! We have brought our children and dogs for nice walks through well groomed wooded trails. You can fish or swim in the ocean, or watch the boats going by.

It I a nice place to go o kids and view nature. They love Wiggly Bridge that goes over to the wood a it way back and forth

Wiggly Bridge is a fun activity, and rather quick. Didn't get to spend time in Steedman Woods but heard from many locals that it's a great place to spend a day.

Finally found this cute spot. We walked in from the hiking trail( it was easy and quick.) some people were fishing from it. My kids 5&7 just had fun walking back and fourth making it wiggle. Glad we took time out for this.

Bottom Line: Great little walk and a nice way to start your day.Details: We found this by accident and glad we stopped. There are a few spots along the highway for about 4 cars that aren't marked by permit only. The hike itself is quite short but if you have small children it is probably just long enough that they won't get too bored.

Kiddos loved the bridge!! & loved that the walk through the woods was not to long just perfect!! We are local so we visit this place 2,3 times a year.

We came across this attraction without knowing it was an attraction. We were geocaching (geocaching.com) and discovered a cache hidden on the bridge.Parking was an issue with only resident restricted parking near by. We talked to a local resident, and she assured us that we would not be fined that early in the season (March), but it can be quite stringently enforced in the summer.The walk over the bridge and through the woods was quite beautiful. Many views of the water, ocean on one side and a marshy pond on the other side afforded glimpses of early arriving herons, geese, and ducks.What really added to the enjoyable walk was the encounters with the few local residents on the trail. One in particular, enthusiastically recommended several "must sees" for us while we were in the area.
