The cabin we were staying in wasn't too far away from the small town of Cotter, which is home to the iconic and impressive Cotter Bridge. Constructed in 1930, the concrete rainbow arch bridge stretches across the White River. The bridge was the first location in Arkansas to be deemed a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, and it has also been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The bridge was nearly torn down when the state wanted to build a larger bridge, but luckily locals protested and it was saved (a rare fate, considering the old bridge downriver in Clarendon was recently destroyed despite many wanting it to be preserved).
