French Creek and the Bridges to East Vincent Township
The boundary between East and West Vincent Townships is a section of French Creek. So unless you plan to swim, wade or fly between the townships, you'll need to use a bridge. There are six of them. Proceeding from west to east, here are some views of the creek and the bridges:
