This is a great little local attraction that doesn't seem to get much traffic even though it's right off the TCH. Great spot to stretch your legs and cool off.
This unique and historic swinging foot bridge spans the Eagle River. Originally built in 1915 by local farmers to connect their farms to the community and school on the other side. Rebuilt by the Dept. of Highways in 1940.
Cache is an ammo crate with adult and kids friendly swag as well as a FTF prize. Please replace as found as it only fits the one way. Should remain findable in the winter although you may get some snow in you. If you come during the hot months enjoy the route swinh. Happy caching.
