Built in 1934 by the CCC; rebuilt in 1940 by the WPA. The hiking trail crosses Lake Creek using the trail bridge originally built by the CCC in 1934.
The nomination form for the District describes its structure and re-construction as folliows:"Originally built of cedar planks and
poles set on stone abutments, the trail bridge crosses Lake Creek near the amphitheater. Rot to the wooden elements of the bridge necessitated its replacement by 1940. The WPA workers added a lat,
concrete slab deck to the existing stone piers. There are three sets
of battered stone piers, one at each end and one mid-stream. The rails are tubular steel, painted red."
This structure is Item #13 on the District nomination.
