👍👍 It's 5 minutes off At 27 in New Portland. Follow the signs, turn right and park in the abandoned field. There's a treeline and a sand/rock beach with an awesome view of the bridge. Going at sunset is highly recommended as is bug spray because there is a lot. There is one picnic table, but I think it...

Two Cent Bridge
Bridge
👍 Nice old toll bridge for people. Google maps brought me to an industrial side with no parking, best to go to Head of the Falls park and enjoy it from there. The bridge has recently been redone and looks amazing for its age. The toll booth is the red box but doesn't look like much from the inside.

👍 Parking was horrendous (but expected when visiting any lighthouse area on a weekend). Decent views & multiple spots to step away from the crowds. There was a small beach area, but couldn't get near the water there because a family was using the whole spot for fishing. Theres a cool little cave area...
