bardwell's ferry bridge

Worth the drive! How lucky I am to be local and use this route from time to time. Often, you can catch fisherman casting their lines. Off the beaten track.

Beautiful bridge. Easy access to water. Parking Can get over crowded in the summer on weekends. Scenic road.

During the warmest of the summer months, this is where summer revelers start their journey down the Deerfield River to Stillwater Bridge for a tubing adventure with little more than friends and festive beverages. Depending on how you hit it, the ride, powered only by the current itself, can take as long as three hours, or as little as an hour and a half. A rope swing invites you for one last hurrah near the end of the ride before getting into the car you left at that end.
