Located in Putnam Point Park are a couple of interpretive displays. This particular display reads:
The River Link
Link River Connecting the Past With the Present
The town of Linkville was founded along the lower end of the Link River on March 12, 1867, by pioneer settler George Nurse. By July of 1869, this pioneer used timber to construct the first bridge linking one side of the river to the other. A steel bridge replaced the original bridge in 1885. Then on Feb. 6, 1893, "Linkville" was officially changed to "Klamath Falls" just 26 years after its establishment. Later bridge, built in the same spot, were built in 1915 and 1931. Today, the trail along the west side provides opportunity for bird watching, fishing, bicycling and strolling outdoors.
The Link River bridge built in 1931 was demolished in 2013 and replaced with a new bridge.
