The first time in saw this, I was riding my Harley around Eureka Springs and basically stumbled across this bridge and had no idea what it was and WHY it was out here in the middle of nowhere.. I stopped at the small park on the end and read the small history plaques and looked it up online. The next time I went, it was to show it off to someone else and even picked up a few bargains at a nearby garage sale. Its a one way bridge and its well worth the short drive from downtown Eureka Springs as is theride/drive itself which takes you through a valley with mountains on either side and a river running thru it..

What a neat experience!! Beautiful drive there to see the bridge and a neat experience for the family. Was staying in the area at the Eureka Springs Koa Journey and wanted to explore the area. I took my son and grandson here to see the bridge and experience driving across an old wooden bridge. Has a neat spring nearby and has lots of history. It's definitely worth a drive to see the bridge and the area.

This is a nice drive. You have to pay attention it is rather challenging in spots and it's a narrow road. It also passes a winery? Then after crossing the bridge you wind your way into Eureka Springs right by the railroad.? There's a nice bench ?you can sit on the river next to the bridge. Have a picnic. There's also a RV campground right there, as well as several BnB units. A pleasant place to stay for a week. ? It's always fun to sit and watch people play chicken across the one lane bridges in the area ?? This one actually got closed the day after I crossed it. They were inspecting? it at the time and they found something wrong. ?
