After riding in the hot car for an hour, as kids, we knew we
were very close to my Grandparents' cottage on the east side
of Indian Lake when we finally got to this bridge. It was
just a few more minutes to O'Connor's Landing and Lake Breeze Drive from there. Dad always honked the car horn
before crossing this bridge -- and while inside it, too,
very loud, I guess that was because it's only one lane and
that was the "rule of the road" back then (early 1960's).
I think the car count listed is way too low, back when the
Indian Lake Playland amusement park was popular, there was
quite a bit of traffic across this bridge. It's a landmark
known to anyone who spent summer weekends on the east side
of Indian Lake, or who drove all the way around the lake.
