Witherspoon Road


This is the closed bridge, where Witherspoon Road crosses Raccoon Creek, near Hillman State Park. 
It's true that you wouldn't want to drive a car over it, but it works just fine as a footbridge.  

Raccoon Creek is quiet and deep at this point, and the road is abandoned due to the impassable bridge.  It's a corner worth visiting.  
The turnoff from Kramer Road onto Witherspoon is easy to miss.  It's only marked with a little stone obelisk-style marker, like the ones used in the more southerly reaches of Washington County.  But the marker is overgrown with dead ivy and hard to read.
