Built in 1904, this steel truss bridge expands across the Broad River connecting the small town of Peak, SC to Fairfield County. It is 1,100 feet long
Several bridges have been built across this site including one that the confederates burned down themselves to slow Sherman's army passing through. Around 2009, the railroad turned this bridge over to the Palmetto trail and has been made safe to travel by foot or bicycle.
On the bridge you can see a great view of the Broad River and sometimes Bald eagles and other wildlife from the bridge. The Peak to Prosperity Passage segment of the Palmetto Trail offers an easy, flat route for most of its 10-mile journey. The views from the bridges are beautiful, plus there are ample opportunities for wildlife sightings. A highlight of the route is the Broad River trestle, which spans more than 1,000 feet and provides breathtaking views. The Peak to Prosperity Passage has a rich history; Crims Creek is known as the Dutch Fork due to the immigrants who settled there in the 1700s. Google
