The Waterville Bridge Trailhead provides carry-in access to Swatara Creek via a dirt and stone bank located alongside the historic Waterville Bridge in Swatara State Park.

The small parking area serves both water and land trail users but has no trailer parking or bathroom facilities; all users must have a DCNR Launch Permit or registered PA boat.

This location also serves as a key access point for the Appalachian Trail, making it a popular spot for hikers and paddlers alike.
