There is a unique single lane steel grate bridge (about 50-70 feet in length) on Willow Springs road about 5 miles northeast of Fayetteville off of Highway 159. There is another single lane bridge (similar but not navigable) just west of there on an adjacent road. If you go onto the bridge, note the steel sign on the right with initials and date. That was put there by local residents in honor of an old gentleman who fished there for many years and had his ashes dumped into Willow Creek from the bridge. If you contine northeast on the road, it soon turns to gravel for a few miles (easily ridden by heavy touring bikes and cruisers as well) and will bring you out onto Highway 954. The bridge was originally a wooden bridge, but was set on fire by local teenagers, and a steel grate bridge was built in its place.
