Long before the bridge crossing the Snake River on Hwy 30 was built, this bridge was the means of crossing the Snake River on Old Hwy 30. It is a one-lane bridge and orginally accomodated the occasional horse and buggy/wagon, or horse rider. This is also a good place to spot bald eagles and, if you're lucky, a river otter or two. It is also a nice quite spot to drop a line in the river, with a small park nearby. The bridge can be reached off Bell Rapids Road or a short drive off of Hwy 30.
