Week : 7 High Bridge State Park

This past weekend, my best friend, her family, and I all went to High Bridge Trail State Park. High Bridge is located in Farmville Virginia. The bridge is 2,400 feet long and 160 feet high at the highest point. It was built in 1854 over the Appomattox River to connect Petersburg to Lynchburg. It was originally a railroad bridge. The last train to go over the bridge was on October 26th, 2004. And the bridge is now accessible to pedestrians, bike riders, and horseback riders. 
A photo I took on one of the look out points! :)



It was different than most state parks I have visited. We could hear Spring Peepers, which let us know Spring is on the way. The view was really amazing because you were over the tops of the trees so you could see for miles. I really enjoyed this trip, it was an exciting and different experience!
