Verde River Sheep Bridge

Yavapai County, AZ

Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.

A suspension bridge replica stands high above the Verde River where the Flagstaff and Howard sheep companies finished a 1944 span to move flocks across without river losses. The original entered the National Register in 1978; the present bridge is a pedestrian and bike crossing into the Mazatzal Wilderness. The last miles of Forest Road 269 are rough and rarely maintained.
