The most-visited bridge in Madison County, made so by Waller's 1992 novel and the Clint Eastwood / Meryl Streep film. A 107-foot wooden span over Middle River, built in 1883 with the distinctive flat-pitched gabled roof shared by all the Madison County bridges.
A small gift shop at the parking area sells souvenirs. The bridge itself is a five-minute walk, and visitors traditionally leave a written note inside — there is now a designated wall for them.
