A Treasure Trove of Birds and Wildlife

The CAWD bridge is a central connection hub for the proposed new trail project. It was originally built in 1938, five years after the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge and it shares a similar suspension bridge design. Standing on the bridge looking down at the water provides a uniquely beautiful vantage point to observe the vital aquatic habitat for juvenile steelhead in the river. And in the canopy above the water is a flourishing covey of migratory birds. 

The CAWD Bridge is the only river crossing West of Hwy 1, but it is currently unusable and would need to be upgraded or replaced for general public access.
