Smith Falls Foot Bridge

The bridge at Smith Falls has moved twice in its lifetime. Verdigre Bridge was built in 1910 on the mouth of Verdigre Creek near the town of Niobrara, NE. The bridge is 160 feet long, has nine panels and is pin- connected. Several years later it was dissembled and, from 1922-1993, used as the Highway 14 bridge near the town of Verdigre. In 1996 it was moved once more, this time nearly 155 miles, to its present location at Smith Falls State Park. After narrowing the bridge to 10 feet, it became a foot bridge that connects the north side of the river, where the park office and campground is located, to the splendor that is Smith Falls. The bridge is a wonderful place to get great views of the river.
