Walk Across A 275-Foot Suspension Bridge Near Milford Oval In New Hampshire
Enjoying the outdoors in New Hampshire isn’t hard to do. There’s certainly no shortage of ways to see the sights. But when we can across this unique bridge we couldn’t resist including it in our roundup of things to do this autumn season. At 275-feet it’s long enough to make it feel like a true (mini!) adventure!
This landmark suspension bridge in Milford is often simply referred to as the "swing bridge."
It was originally constructed of wood back in 1850. The light construction allowed the bridge to move as the result of foot traffic. This is where its "swing" moniker originates.
You'll find it between Pine Street and Souhegan Street, northeast of the downtown center. It can be found if you take Bridge Street directly to Pine Street.
Michelle has lived in many places, but counts Maine as one of the best. In addition to the smell of ocean water in the air on rainy days in Portland, she loves puppies, photography, funny people, the Maine Red Claws, traveling, fresh tomatoes, Cambodia and filling out forms.
