The Iconic Spruce Pine Footbridge
If you've ever visited Spruce Pine, NC, you probably noticed (or even took a stroll across) the footbridge crossing the Toe River. This historic, 402 foot long, pedestrian bridge was built in 1940 and is a "deck truss" design. The bridge connects "downtown" Spruce Pine to Riverside Park, which is a local favorite for swimming and fishing. Be sure to visit this landmark on your next stay at Parkway Peek!
