The first bridge was built in 1938 and was 200 m (656 ft.) long. It incurred high-water damage in May 1939, and was rebuilt, higher, with a pier in the middle. This bridge was upgraded in 1961, and then replaced in 1988. Enjoy beautiful views on the Miramichi river from the footbridge and the picturesque countryside. The bridge can be crossed on foot, but there is a parking nearby. ATV and snowmobile trails are just a few steps away.
