The Bridge Walk In New Hampshire That Will Make Your Stomach Drop
There are a lot of ways to appreciate your surroundings in New Hampshire. You can take to the woods for a hike along a path, you can simply stroll your own neighborhood, or you can do something that includes scenery, history, and even some excitement. If that’s what you’re interested in, we recommend you check out this bridge!
You'll find beautiful Milford along the Souhegan River. And that's exactly where our little journey begins!
This isn't the first bridge that's been in this spot. A wooden bridge (even swingier than this one!) was built in 1850, but that bridge was swept away by high waters in 1869.
While not quite the harrowing experience that mill workers faced when crossing the first one, this swing bridge still has that moving quality when many people are crossing at one. Or, when a swift wind hits.
This is a fun, easy and small adventure for kids. And when you get to the other side, you can treat yourself to a snack in Milford. Make the trip now and you'll find lots of beautiful greenery. Or, save it for autumn for impressive fall foliage views!
You can walk across the Swing Bridge by entering on Souhegan Street on the east side of Milford or near Pine Street. Most people agree that the best way to cross is by starting from Pine Street which is northeast of downtown Milford. You can learn more about the town of Milford on their official website.

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.
