Sonoma County, California Bridges: Pedestrian Bridge across Santa Rosa Creek

August 2014 (38.4572 Degrees, -122.6396 Degrees) Santa Rosa Creek Bridge

Today's bridge is so odd that I'm not even sure if it's really a bridge. We found it crossing Santa Rosa Creek next to Annadel State Park. What makes it odd is how very deep the superstructure is, far deeper than would be required to carry pedestrians across a creek. I think it must function as some kind of dam, controlling the amount of water that can flow through the creek. However, dams typically control the amount of water with gates and sloughs.
