About this bridge
The crown jewel of the restoration program. At roughly 200 feet long, Rocky Branch is the longest swinging bridge in Clay County and spans the South Fork of the Kentucky River. The drive in along Rocky Branch Road is part of the experience — narrow, twisting, and beautifully wooded.
