Scenic State Highway 9

Comprised of old stone and frame buildings with tin roofs, historical downtown is a reminder of days gone by, which is lovingly preserved by local residents and city leaders. The highway winds northwards through neighborhoods to eventually pass under the iconic school pedestrian bridge that connects the Shirley School District Campus with the District Office. Regardless of the season, this stretch of highway is truly something to behold.
Middle Fork of The Little Red
Through the spring and summer, it is common to see locals and visitors camping and fishing right off the banks of the Middle Fork of the Little Red.

The historic bridge is a nostalgic spot for locals and tourists alike, and an enticing setting for photographers. Traversing the narrow, rusty bridge on foot high above the water is guaranteed to leave you holding your breath.
