Dewey Historic Bridge
Dewey Historic Bridge
Right on the banks of the Colorado River, keep an eye out for remnants of the old Dewey Historic Bridge which was put into service in 1916. Once the longest suspension bridge in Utah, the narrow bridge was big enough for horse-drawn wagons, but barely wide enough for cars. It eventually landed on the National Register of Historic Places. Sadly, though, most of its wood deck burned in the late 2000s, with just a small showing still visible today. Even so, it’s still possible to stay right on the river’s edge at the nearby Dewey Bridge Campground for a small nightly fee. It’s also a popular spot to launch small boats and a likely spot to run into mountain bikers heading to Kokopelli’s Trail.
