Accessing Welland Swing Bridge?

[Soggy_Diver]

Hi,

For diving the swing bridge in Welland, where is the closest spot to park and enter the water? So far, I have parked and entered at the Scuba Park boat ramp, but that is a long swim.

You can access it directly from shore, from the opposite bank that you'd access the scuba park. There's a small parking pad and muddy trail down to the water. Canal Bank St, just north of the bridge.

I know the Google Streets view or the Google Satellite view doesn't show a good angle, but hopefully this helps...

This is the location where you can park, the parking pad or even beside it on the gravel.
And the other two photos shows the walk down the steep path to the waters.
