The 6 Best Bridges in Arkansas, United States

July 29, 2021 Oliva Fomby

Living up to its billing as “The Natural State”, the state is a nature wonderland with three national forests, nearly 9,000 miles of pristine streams and rivers, awe-inspiring settings in the Ozark and Quachita mountains and sparkling lakes.

The menu of vacation experiences is an exciting one. For great golf, spas, horse racing and the Hot Springs National Park, Hot Springs is the place to go. Outdoor enthusiasts love the Ozark Mountains where activities like canoeing, rafting, kayaking, fishing, hiking and rock climbing are popular. The mountain village of Eureka Springs, with its streets lined with Victorian homes, is brimming with boutiques, antique shops and art galleries. Wine enthusiasts love the Arkansas Wine Country, encompassing the towns of Paris, Ozark and Altus, where German style wines are produced. From its ancient mountains to the Delta flatlands leveled by the Mississippi River, the state has a diverse topography with numerous scenic drives. Try the Pig Trail, Ozark Highlands and Sylamore scenic byways in the Ozark National Forest designated by the U.S. Forest Service. Golfers love the state because greens fees are extremely affordable for great courses. A few excellent public access courses are Sage Meadows in Jonesboro, Stonebridge Meadows in Fayetteville and the Mountain Ranch Course in Fairfield Bay.

Beaver Bridge - Little Golden Gate

Reviewed By reneet451 - Tulsa, United States

Rode across this one lane bridge on my Harley Street Glide. When I was told we were going across a suspension bridge, the first thing I said was - We are riding across a bridge that sways on motorcycle - Hum I don't think so. Turns out it does not sway or at least that you notice. BUT it is very unnerving on a motorcycle and your bike will skate all over the wooden boards and make you think you are having a flat tire on the front. The bridge is located just out of Eureka Springs north on 23 and connects Arkansas Highway 187 over the White River at Table Rock Lake. Built in 1949 by the Pioneer Construction Company, the structure is the only suspension bridge open to traffic in Arkansas. The bridge has a 10-ton weight limit and was temporarily closed for inspection in October 2018 after two overweight buses crossed it. If your just cruising aroung either on motorcycle or in your car be sure and check it out, it will be worth the time. Would I do it again - You Bet Ya !!
