The original bridge that was here years ago needed to be painted. A guy by the name of Bicycle Bud decided to paint the bridge with the red paint that he had. Bicycle Bud was the kind of person that would always be looking out for other people. He would even go as far as throwing his bicycle in front of vehicles that were driving too fast to slow them down.

When the state replaced the bridge, it was painted silver because they would not approve the funding for the reconstruction if it was red. Bicycle Bud passed away, and the locals decided the bridge needed to be painted red again. So, a few got together one night and painted the bridge back to red. The state didn't like that, and came back and painted it silver again. We don't know all the details to the story, but it has been red ever since. Locals will still go down there to touch up the red paint.

Enjoy the scenery and the relaxing sounds of the water. The south side of the bridge may be more appropriate for children as the north side unfortunately has graffiti. Please contact us if you have more to the story and we will update as needed.

We've heard there is some nice trout fishing here.
