Talk about being in the wilderness, there are no street views available.

| GlobeMiamiTimes, photo by Patti Daley "It’s nearly 215 ft. [65m] span is supported by concrete abutments set Into solid rock shorelines. The bridge is technologically significant as one of only four Parker trusses in the state, and the earliest and longest originally located through truss." |
This is the takeout location for raft trips that begin at the US-60 Bridge. See those notes for more information about the rafting. The sign on the bridge in this photo says the following in English and, I presume, Spanish: "Danger Falls Ahead Exit Left Bank."
