Spook Bridge - Quitman and Valdosta My friend (seen in film) and I went to spook bridge (Quitman & Valdosta) on a rainy sunday afternoon and hiked with a retired deputy sheriff and his lovely wife. Beautiful area. Please keep it clean. |

The bridge is very pretty. After spending a couple hours on the bridge,it was clear that there was no danger if you were on foot. It is a great place to visit and explore.
