Description

Old, dilapidated bridge purportedly build by a commune that lived at the site of the Glen Woody mine town on river right. Beware of possible fishing lines with hooks still attached that might have been accidentally snagged and dangling from the bridge. At high water the river rises very close to the bottom of the bridge and the bridge must be portaged on the left bank.

Commerical trips often regroup in the large pools and eddies just below the bridge to prepare for Big Rocks.
