Railroad Bridge Repurposed
The historic Guffy Railroad Bridge is located at Celebration Park When it was built in 1897, it was the tallest railroad bridge in the nation. It is 70 high and spans 500 feet over the Snake River. The bridge provided railroad transport until 1947 when it was abandoned by the Union Pacific Railroad. After that, the Army Air Corps used it for target practice. Before being demolished, it was purchased by Canyon County and then restored in 1989. It is now used for foot and horse traffic to connect trails on both sides of the river.
