Barkers Creek Swinging Bridge in Whittier: tickets, hours & planning tips

Barkers Creek Swinging Bridge

This roadside swinging bridge delivers a quick, thrilling experience that's hard to miss from the highway. Visitors love the genuine swaying action—especially with multiple people on it—and appreciate that it's completely free and easily accessible. The bridge crosses shallow Barkers Creek and ends at private property, so it's more of a fun photo-op than a hiking trail, but most find the brief adventure and views well worth the stop.
