目錄
難得在台北市近郊，有一處乾淨見底的三大古水圳陪伴著踏青者一路往內雙溪的深山裡，有巨石溪谷與泉水，石縫中噴發而出的冰涼瀑布泉水，溪中小魚跟蝦子清晰可見，這就是台北近郊的避暑步道-坪頂古圳步道。
雖然說是溪流步道，但是三大古圳最上方的坪頂古圳恰為內雙溪區-坪頂居民的生活飲用水，還是要盡量避免污染到，坪頂是平等里的老地名，指為一處位於高處的平坦地形，先民入住開墾後為了飲水灌溉修建三公里長的坪頂古圳步道，從清朝時期1835年到現在有186年以上的歷史，而後越來越多移民遷居來坪頂居住，落腳農耕使得當地水源不夠，因此在1849年修建了第二座坪頂新圳，水圳長四公里。
這是一處平緩行進的山路搭配石階路爬升下降，適合初心者與親子同遊欣賞大自然與溪中小生物(・∀・) 在台北爬了幾年郊山，坪頂古圳步道真心推薦給大家，除了溪水乾淨外的優點，當地的水圳實屬具有歷史特色的建物並帶有娛樂性質，易留下好印象與記憶。

路線圖文紀錄
▶ 12:56 p.m 抵達登山口，路口在至善路三段370巷路上，此段古圳步道也叫大崎頭步道。
中午時間點過來，附近已經有許多車輛臨停在路邊，夏日炎熱的時候坪頂古圳步道算是一個相當知名的景點，倘若開車來的可能需要找一下停車位，這邊沒有專門的停車場～開上去小路只會越來越窄 (´･ω･`)
從大崎頭步道開始走 ，過一會兒就會走進竹林步道裡遮蔭又涼快，總共會爬升約200m到有水圳伴隨的步道。
12:56 p.m. arrvied trailhead, it’s located at the Zhi Shan road sec3, 370 ln and trail sign will be your left side. Many cars just parking on the both side of Zhi shan road here implying many people have come here, i guess their destination is the same as mine – Pingding ancient canel trail. It’s seems very popular spot in summer time but no parking lot here.
Departure from this trailhead, bamboo forest will be in front of you after a while and terrain will ascend 200 meter before arrived canel.
Trail Guide of Ping ding canel hiking trail
步道左側有廣大的梯田與作物，往回一看有對面的界寮縱走綿延的綠山，展望非常好(・∀・)～
Wide and huge terraces and crop along the way to Canel hiking trail. Mountain view is awesome when you look back (・∀・)
13:30 抵達民宅交岔路口，經過兩三家住家後，會有一座登山指示牌，此處往左轉續行登山步道，不要直走往產業道路走喔！ 不過故意走錯往產業道路走會遇到一座小瀑布，可以清洗一下剛才一路爬升的汗水很剛好 (๑´ㅂ`๑)
13:30 p.m. arrived the branchroad of residence, turn left to PingDing ancient canel trail as usual and trail guide is located here. It’s obvious to turn left. If you keep going straigt here instead of turning left, will see a small waterfull and go to another road with wrong direction but you can clean up sweaty body yourself. (๑´ㅂ`๑)
若是不小心續行走產業道路的話，會在左側有一處泉水或小瀑布～
If choose to wrong direction, you will see a small waterfall here on the left side~
13:36 走回剛剛的叉路口左行，續行步道往上，一路上會遇到相當多的竹林，有當地人在挖竹筍還在登山口附近販賣新鮮農作物。雖然陡升階梯讓人軟腳，但是沿路的徐風跟涼爽溫度跟市區比起來相當舒服。(*≧▽≦)
13:36 p.m. back to branchraod after cleaned up myself (*≧▽≦). Inside bamboo forest with cold wind , it’s pretty comfortable even rocky stairs is super long and seems endless.
Endless stair
Seems like old water reservoir
Bamboo forest
14:00 行經鵝尾山岔路，上頭標示4/4/2021藍天隊來開過路，目前2021七月看起來路徑還相當清晰，改天再來挑戰，今天炎炎夏日還是趕緊去踏踏水，繼續續行～
14:00 p.m. pass by E-Wei Shan(鵝尾山）trailhead, keep straight to Pingding canel trail. E-wei shan trailhead has a mark sign with a word”2021/4/4″ which seems like Lan-tian club(藍天隊） have coming here to clean up trail. This club is famous in Taipei due to they often clean up weed along trail helping hikers to go hiking smoothly.

it’s seems trail have just cleaned up for E- Wei shan
不取鵝尾山續行，14:04 p.m. 抵達往坪頂古圳步道岔路，圖中的話是往左行，左上角是原來的路。
如果選擇往圖中右邊階梯往下的話，就會前往平菁街的登山口，後方有個隱密山野小徑則是前往瑪礁古道。
14:04 P.M. Arroved the branchroad of Pingding canel hiking trail and ping-jin street (平菁街）.
From the below picture, need to turn left to keep going Pingding canel trail. If choose the right side of below picture, will go the Ping-Jin street trailhead(平菁街登山口）. And there is small trail at the backside of this picture, it’s Ma Jiao ancient trail (瑪礁古道）
1.2 KM to PingDing ancient canel trail
Go downstairs to Pingding ancient canel trail from branchroad
14:08 p.m. 即抵達坪頂古圳， 入口處有座水閘門寫著『坪頂古圳』的字樣。
坪頂是平等里的老地名，指一處位於高處的平坦地。這裡有兩條古圳以坪頂為名，一座叫坪頂新圳，另一條在這裡的就是坪頂古圳。 這座古圳的修建追遡到坪頂地區的開墾歷史，最早移民是從乾隆六年1741年開始，由先民何士蘭,陳促,林臣度等人先後抵達開墾，人口增多後為了飲水及灌溉開始修建古圳，在1835年完工。 長度三公里，還包含一條長達60公尺的隧道，隧道口上便有坪頂古圳的字（即下方照片的四字）。 –摘自當地看板
14:08 p.m. arrived Pingding ancient canel, there is mark “坪頂古圳“ characters on it.
PingDing is old name of Ping Deng village which means flat terrain at high elevation. Here are 2 ancient canel called as PingDing canel, one is PingDing ancient canel（坪頂古圳） and the another one is PingDing new canel.(坪頂新圳）Both canels were built hundreds years ago due to the growth of population in Pingding distinct and more farm and crop need well-constructed canel. PingDing ancient canel completed in 1835 and 3 kilometer long with 60 meters long tunnel.
– quote from local trail guide
古圳到目前已經有186年了，但仍然供應平等里的灌溉飲水，可見隧道口一旁寫著『請勿洗腳』的字樣 (・∀・)
PingDing ancient canel is already 186 years old but still keep providing drinking water to resident lived in Ping Ding distinct. “Do not wash your foot” mark just stick on wall near Pingding canel tunnel entrance. (・∀・)
Many fish and shrimp in clean water

繼續直走往坪頂古圳上游。

15:00 p.m. 下切到往坪頂新圳岔路口，這邊有很乾淨的泉水池跟超多小魚。
即使市區在高溫37度的環境，內雙溪裡頭的古圳泉水還是相當冰涼，森林裡的微風跟溫度也很宜人舒適(・∀・)
15:00 p.m. arrived the branchroad to PingDing new canel, there are many fish and super cold/clean water here. Even it’s super hot with 37 celcius degree in Taipei city but in PingDing canel trail still comfortable and not sweaty all the time.(・∀・)

15:50 p.m.續行，於剛剛的泉水處過溪後到對面的竹林裡往下游方向走，繼續前往即可抵達坪頂新圳步道。
15:50 p.m. keep going PingDing new canel trail. After pass by the waterpool spot, need to across the river to downstream direction and arrive PingDing new canel trail.
半路上遇到在水中抓著樹枝載浮載沉的獨角仙，把牠拾起後放到樹叢中～難得遇到很漂亮的獨角仙(・∀・)
Beetle just hold tightly on branches and floating on canel. Just pick up and put at the forest~ it’s not often to meet beautiful beetle. (・∀・)
16:15 p.m. 抵達坪頂古圳石階路岔路，這一條長條石階貫穿“坪頂古圳”, “坪頂新圳“ 以及 “登峰圳“。 因為我要繞回至善路三段370巷巷底，處在地勢較低的位置，故要往石階下方走～
其實這邊古道的岔路很多，即時的地圖標示牌也很少，在這就遇到許多人前來問路，建議行前可以下載登山離線地圖APP，可以快速知道自己的位置，以及即將前往的路線方向，可以參考我的另一篇網誌有完整的離線地圖app使用教學，就可以輕鬆在這裡走跳囉o(^▽^)o
