Sentinal Bridge Overlook

Uploaded: May 12, 2009

Description

Located in the Flume Gorge. Franconia Notch, White Mountains National Forest. A tall pine tree that gave the bridge its name once stood near the rear of the pool as if it were a sentry on guard. The great tree was over ninety feet tall, five feet in diameter, and estimated to be 100 years old when it was blown over in the 1938 hurricane. Workmen took a sixty foot piece of the tree and placed it over the river forty feet above the water just north of the pool. Taking other trees that were blown down,they made the footbridge over the pine to protect and preserve it. The bridge is put together with wooden pegs. The shingles were handmade by John G. Welch and Old Joe Poloquin, who was also known as Indian Joe.
