Original Narrative: This Weir BRIDGE is a dangerous spot, and many accidents have occurred in shooting the rapid . “ The rapidity of the current , ” says Wild , “ forms an impediment to the ascent of boats not to be counteracted without considerable efforts, and never fails to occasion much delay in proceeding to the Upper Lake. To render the boats more manageable, the passengers are always required to land , and walk through the woods till they get above the bridge ; and, even after being thus lightened , it required the united strength of nine or ten men to drag a large boat against the stream . The bridge consists of two arches, of which one alone affords a passage for boats ; the other is obstructed by a wall, built across the stream from the central pier to the shore. It was intended formerly as part of a fishing weir, and is now left for the purpose of deepening the channel at the opposite side. Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
