Brookfield Floating Bridge — Attraction in Brookfield

My mom used to ride her horse here from 6 miles away. My aunt, hit a gas pump which is no longer in the village, back in the 70's. The water is Frigid! Diving or jumping off the Bridge is a blast. Driving across the previous bridges, was tons of fun!!! As they would age, the water would come over the bridge. People are usually fishing here also. It used to be closed in the winter.

Like something out of a postcard, this bridge offers idyllic views of the river and this picturesque town. We went in the late afternoon, when the light was amazing. It's such a peaceful place, and a really unique experience to walk across one of the last floating bridges in the state. Be sure to look up at the power lines, where it is a local tradition for fisherman to leave their...
