Toccoa River Swinging Bridge

Now THIS is a different kind of adventure, and you’ll get something different out of it based on how you get there.

The Swinging Bridge is a 270-foot-long hiking bridge. It’s actually the longest swinging bridge east of the Mississippi River. It’s located on the Benton MacKaye Trail and the Duncan Ridge National Recreation Trail over the Toccoa River in Fannin County.

The drive out, for whatever reason, felt much easier on my low-rider car. Others get there by hiking the Benton MacKaye Trail. And kayakers and canoers will see it while coming down the Toccoa River Canoe Trail.

We think it's one of the best things to do with the family in Blue Ridge!

The address is incorrect!!!!
Drive to intersection of Old Highway 60/76 and Road 816.
Follow VERY long single lane gravel drive to parking.
Short walk to the bridge.
GREAT for families!!

It's tricky to find, and the 3 mile path is very hard on your vehicle. I wouldn't try it in a low vehicle. Once you get there, it's pretty awesome!
