小路經過民宅圍牆後就進入一片綠竹林,水圳右邊則是菜園農作,菜園裡幾棵山茶花正開出鮮艷的花朵,已經過午陽光溫和,索性在菜園裡找個坐的地方吃吃麵包充飢。

小路一個轉彎順著山坡而下,出雜竹叢後又走進更大片的綠竹林,山坡小路上有塑膠水管一路而下,心裡有點懷疑是不是走錯路。

山坡竹林下的草叢間已出現石階小路往底下山谷間下去,停下來看一下方向應該是沒錯,不然走下山谷間再爬上來就累了。

簡易的石階小路一路陡下經過梯形的山坡農地,有果樹有菜作也有即將嫣紅的櫻花。桂竹林下的這段石階路就有像古道的味道了。

石階小路出桂竹林進入雜樹林腰繞一小段,左前方出現石階小路岔路,取直行往山谷間下去,不久遇見左側山壁上的小瀑布流過山腰小路。

山路下抵橫陳而過的水圳(路),應該就是溪山百年古圳步道。水圳從右側山腰流出來,由此進入約600公尺處是湧泉發掘地,泉水源源不絕從山壁石洞中湧出,供養此地居民的生活。現以管接水至此,並以石缸湧水象徵水圳的源頭及源源不絕。

古圳路上的土地公,早期先民在此設置土地公廟是為了請土地公幫助居民保水源、顧梯田。土地廟旁莖桿高大叢生的刺竹,是台灣農村代表性景觀,可安定土岸、防止土壤沖刷崩落,也供防禦與製作轎子之用。

清朝時期先民至此開墾家園,尋找水源開闢水圳,豐沛的泉水由圳道滿溢層層梯田,用來灌溉主要作物--水稻。稻熟其間稻穗宛如黃金海般豐盛富足,如今已不見水稻梯田,剩下才園農作而已。

以前農村生活中,孩子們的玩具多是大自然裡隨手可得的產物,以朴樹、青剛櫟、苦楝的果實當作子彈,結合桂竹自製的空氣唧筒變是許多在地長者的童年回憶。

早期農民利用竹子從山上水圳引水而下,利用高低落設置水池,當農夫從田裡、山裡工作完成,可以在此洗腳或磨刀。水池更是早期農家婦女的洗衣池及洗菜池。

溪山百年古圳步道在至善路三段71巷經過民宅抵達「半嶺站」而結束。循著至善路走下山再尋找另一條「平菁步道 」走回平菁街138號的溪山百年古圳步道入口。
