We stayed at a beautiful AirB&B on the private property side of this neat old swinging bridge. Imagine our disappointment upon learning the bridge has been closed for going on 2 years due to disrepair. :( It was still interesting to look at from afar, but not nearly as fun as it would have been to be able to cross it in 5 minutes to access the other side rather than having to drive all the way around to get to town. I do highly recommend the Peacock Properties vacation rental we stayed at in the other side of this bridge!

This is a cute little bridge that bounces quite a bit as you walk across. The other side is private property so you can't explore that side. Great view of the river and people tubing right in the middle. If in the area, it makes a nice little few minute stop.

The swinging bridge basically goes from the parking lot of The Abbey across the river to private property so you can’t explore much. It does allow for fun & great people watching as folks tube down the river

Very interesting swinging bridge, and it moves a lot as you walk across it. Beautiful view of little River as it flows through Townsend.
