The current bridge was built over 25 years ago to serve as a critical link between Boling Park and the Sutallee Trace Trails system. The bridge needs to be replaced. The project to replace the bridge is being undertaken by the Trace Trail Stewards and Scouts Canton, Inc. The goal is to replace the bridge in time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the opening of the trail system.

The Sutallee Trace
​
The Sutallee Trace Pocket Wilderness is a woodland oasis situated in the quickly-expanding suburbs of northern Cherokee County, in the state of Georgia. With a rich diversity of flora and fauna, a wide variety of woodland habitats, and a fascinating history of human habitation, the Trace offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the cultural history and natural beauty of north Georgia.
​
​
The Sutallee Trace Trails traverse the wilderness, giving trail enthusiasts the opportunity to experience the diverse beauty of North Georgia within a short distance of urban settings. The trail system, maintained by volunteers from the Sutallee Trace Trail Stewards, provides over fifteen miles of marked and unmarked footpaths on which to relax and unwind.
