Klondike Bridge – rural Larchwood, IA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

The historic Klondike Bridge still spans the Big Sioux River which divides Iowa from South Dakota.

A public access provides a place to launch a canoe or kayak and a trail to portage around the dam.
