Nice gift shop next door. Note you will drive on dusty gravel roads to get to this location. Hogback Bridge has the same design.

I loved the bridge tour and am so glad we didn't miss t his one. It was located in the park and easy to get to. It is a beautiful and well preserved bridge like the ones I remember from my early childhood. I only wish that visitors to these old relics didn't have a need to carve or write their initials/names on the walls. In spite of that, it is still a great piece of history well worth seeing. Easy to find. No tour guide needed. Tour at your own pace. It is free.

Set apart and out by itself and very secluded. It has beautiful scenery of woods and river surrounding it so perfect for pictures or a picnic. What a great solid bridge! I hope to see it with my kids someday!

My daughter wanted to play at a playground so we stopped here. Little did I know that there was so much more than just a playground. There is also the Cutler Conahoe covered bridge. And, then you can drive up the hill to Clark Tower for a beautiful view of the countryside by going to the top of a tower that was built to look like a castle. Also, one quick tip. It's a little unclear when you first enter, but this is a "drive through" park. So, don't feel the need to park in the lot near the entrance. You can drive your vehicle down the relatively narrow path, which I wasn't sure at first was for cars.
