Curlew Bridge

In 1901, the cable ferry used to cross the Kettle River at Curlew, Washington was replaced by the sturdy Curlew Bridge, a one-lane bridge, which is still in use. The photogenic Curlew Bridge provides attractive east/west views of the the Kettle River. The bridge, though narrow and antique in appearance, is still actively used by the residents of Curlew, so be polite and don’t doddle or block the bridge when taking photos.
The bridge is located off Hwy 21, on Ferry Street in Curlew, WA.
