This is one of my favorite spots in the area. With your stop here, you will be treated to the site of the only functional 5 arch stone railroad bridge in America.
The cache is located around a near by steal car bridge, that will give you a great view of the 5 arches
The railroad bridge was built in 1869, spans 388 feet and is still in use today. The structure was designed by a Chicago engineer named Van Mienen. The limestone from the area was not considered to be strong enough to hold locomotives, so the substructure stone was shipped in from Wapun and the superstructure stone came from Duck Creek in Brown County, near Green Bay.
All though the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company had built the structure, it is now owned by Union Pacific.
When the Tiffany Stone Bridge was built, locomotives didn't weigh much more than 43 tons but since modern diesel locomotives weigh upward of 250 tons, the arches were reinforced with concrete rings.
It is posted to the National Register of Historic Places.
And the area is also a woderful place to launch a canoe or kayak.
Also watch out for traffic, you may have to walk across the one lane bridge to get to the cache, depending on where you park.
