Found this bridge while exploring. It used to be a railroad bridge, transformed to a buggy bridge, and not after restoration is a walking path bridge. It stretches over a hundred feet and while walking you can still see the old railroad and boards for the buggy.
Historic bridge that has stood over the Des Moines River since 1882. It used to be a crossing for automobiles until the later 20th century and is now used as a pedestrian bridge.
