This bridge is on the road to H. Roe Bartle Scout Camp.

Went over this bridge many a summer going to scout camp!

Hiking in this area is quite good. When you hike in this area, the views are great.

This was the replacement for the Brown's Ford swinging bridge.

It may be an UCEB but at least it's not on the verge of collapse like the 'ol swinger it replaced.

I've attached a picture of the Brown's Ford Bridge.
