Jewel of Fair Oaks

Old Fair Oaks Bridge 

The Old Fair Oaks bridge is a walk bridge used by hundreds of people on beautiful spring days to go from the American River Bike trail to old Fair Oaks, and back. I have heard it referred to as the "Red Bridge" by rafters.  But it wasn't always that way. Built in 1909, vehicles used it for many years according to Wikipedia. Now it is strictly a pedestrian and bicycle bridge. I have jogged across this bridge many more times than I can count.
This photo was taken from a boat dock very near the bridge.
