The Narada Falls Bridge was built in the late 1920's and is an excellent example of rustic park-style architecture. It is a reinforced concrete structure with a veneer of native granite. Later the CCC built granite retaining walls and guard rails around the viewing area that tie-in with the bridge beautifully.

Unlike the Christine Falls Bridge nearby, this bridge is primarily used by pedestrians. It crosses the creek, linking the parking area and the comfort station area. Beyond the comfort station is a service area used by park employees.

For the best view of the falls and the bridge, take the trail down to the base of the falls.
