Bird watchers and photographers will have a wonderful experience at the bridge site. A 140 mile long trail which has received National Recreation Trail status, is located between Coldspring and Cleveland on FM 2025. The southeast section wanders through the Big Creek Scenic area. Relatively flat with some wet areas, bridges allow for easy crossing of creeks. The southern portion of the trail follows an old railroad tramway.
Trail markers explain directions.
Coldspring in 1916. It was restored to 1870 period in 1973. It is believed to be the oldest Methodist Church in continuous use in Texas today. The outside of the building is its original appearance and architectural structure of the interior is authentic except for a complete reversal of the entry and transept. This 1,400 acrea testimony to the way things used to look is about five miles from the Double Lake Recreation Area and well worth a visit.
