Just north of Eureka Springs is the small community of Beaver, which dates back to the 1850s. The town was built by a spring on the White River, and would soon feature an inn, post office, gristmill, stagecoach stop and a ferry crossing. Now the most famous landmark in Beaver is the Beaver Bridge, a one-lane wooden suspension bridge that was built in 1949. It's been dubbed the "Little Golden Gate Bridge," and is the last suspension bridge that is still in use in the state.
The town of Beaver doesn't sit on Beaver Lake, but is actually on the very southern end of Table Rock Lake. There is a nearby overlook that provides this view of the lake:
There wasn't that much traffic as were were heading home, so I managed to get one last picture of the Beaver Bridge without any cars passing over it...
