The bridge is on private land, at 7505 S Big Canyon Rd, just inside the gate to the Rock Creek Retreat. They are very proud of this bridge, having cleaned up the creek below and given the bridge a facelift in 2014. They don't appear to mind your being here, as the western gate to the bridge is open, but please be on your extra-best behavior while visiting. Both Bridghunter and UglyBridges are shy about details regarding the bridge, which once took traffic over the old road here, since bypassed. The bridge sits just south of the new bridge, and there are gates at both ends. The eastern gate is locked, and it doesn't look very safe there in the brush anyways, as several of the old boards have rotted away.

Please be certain to not block the property owner's driveway. We located parking just east of the bridge at the coordinates provided.

Parking Coordinates:: N 34° 23.846 W 097° 02.217
