North Turkey Foot Through Truss Bridge
Posted August 24, 2008, by Todd (groovyheart67 [at] yahoo [dot] com)

I took several pictures of bridges along the historic Maumee River between the Toledo suburb of Maumee and the town of Napoleon. Here is a "hidden gem" found on a hiking trail in Henry County's "Turkey Foot Creek" State Park. Between US 24 and the Maumee River is this small through truss. Battling mosquitoes I managed to get a few shots.
