Bridge to Deer Lake Lodge Site

This causeway takes hikers and riders from the parking area on Rice Pinnacle Road to the old Deer Lake Lodge site. To the right is a connector trail which joins Bent Creek Gap Road across from the Hardtimes Connector trail. Behind where I am standing the trail is paved to the lodge site. The old, dilapidated lodge was torn down not long ago.
