jordan bridge

Nice to visit, not so nice in the summer with all the swimmers. Better to visit in spring/fall. Nice little foot bridge over the Stilly.

A not-very-long circular bike ride from Granite Falls back to GF using the bridge to complete the loop. Very scenic down the east side of the Stilly River. Pastoral views. Good place to linger below the bridge. Watch the traffic on your backside on the way there, but really very pleasant peddle.

Very quiet and serene part of the River. Wished we had more time to just kick back and relax here. Emilia and I checked out this little spot on the River before heading home from a romantic get-away. We will be back some day and I might even bring my fishing rod next time!

The kids all come here in the summer to jump into the river from the bridge and from what I understand there have been few serious injuries, but you can get a ticket, so maybe just enjoy the view and go swimming from the sandy shore.

Just out for a drive with the family, we stumbled across a sign that said Jordan Bridge. We knew there was a river that ran thru but what's the big deal with a bridge. Well, take the time and park, because for the little town of Arlington, its something to behold. Parking lot is rather small, that is directly in front of the bridge, however north approx 500ft is an alternate parking lot. Don't park across the street anywhere because that is private property. Once on the bridge you hear splashing and kids playing. Get to the middle and look over (if you dare) and it's a long ways down. Couples soaking up some rays, dogs playing fetch and kids playing in the water. I must caution that, from the bridge view, you can see that the back is about 10 out then it drops off fast. So use your own judgment if you want the little ones in the water, oh and the under current is swift.All and all it's a nice surprise to have seen this bridge, literally in the middle of nowhere.
