Sweetwater River Bridge - Park in Spring Valley - , USA

Cool old steel bridge. In my almost 40 years of being in San Diego, I've never been here. Some easy hiking around it. Just some interesting architecture from the past right off the main road minutes from the main part of town.

This place is a hidden gem!!! Great for a little "hiking" when you don't really want to exert yourself but want to get out and enjoy the weather. Perfect for the little ones! You could probably make a jogging stroller on the dirt path if you wanted. There are no drop offs or hidden dangers here. At least not on the path that we took. If you go across the bridge and loop around you end up on a regular road for the last 3/4 mile of the hike back. So I think we did 2.5 miles total. There's water down there after a rainfall or when they drain the reservoir. I'd call it a great nature walk!!!

Beautiful area for a run or hike, slight elevation changes as you progress further away from the bridge, probably a mile or so in. Nice views along the way and many birds to see and hear.

Really nice trails and the bridge is super cool. There was a swing but now it's gone 😡

It is a wonderful natural growth park. It has trails for biking and hiking. Stay on the trails because their is lots of poisen oak. Rattle snake are very common during the summer.

There are a few other bridges on the trails that are really pretty and great spots for pictures.

This is a historical bridge that has stood the test of time. This leads you to the hiking trail, make a right at the end of the bridge.

Very cool location to take Motorcycle pics, just be cautious of pedestrians.
