Excellent Bridge with family park. Bridge is in excellent shape. Historical signs with history are showing age. Only complaint is lack of handicaps access to bridge. There is the old road to bridge that could be used Handicap parking area.

Back when this was remote I was a teenager and we would camp here. So glad to see the bridge preserved.

Great place to take your kids to a play park but we were looking for walking trails which we were disappointed based on Google. We made the best of it reading history about Mr Poole and hanging out on the large rocks listening to the water taking in the sun on a cool fall day. 🍂💦🪨☀️😎

Are there trails here & if so how long are they?

Suzanne V. Buchanan | Oct 31, 2019
Nick Smith | Oct 31, 2019

After you cross the bridge you will see a trail to your left and one to your right as well as a short trail in front of you. To the left is a path to the small set of rapids. The right takes your by the slower moving river. Straight ahead is another path to the lower area of pools mill. There use to be longer trails but the have been blocked off. It is still a great place to visit. Just explore and see what you find. Fun for the whole family!
