Little Current Swing Bridge
A single-lane swing bridge built in 1913 and the island's only land link. In summer it opens on the hour to let boats pass.
The Little Current Swing Bridge was originally a railway bridge completed in 1913 and was later converted for road traffic. It is the only road route onto the island, via Highway 6 from Espanola. In summer daytime, it swings open for about 15 minutes every hour to let yachts through, and the bridge's edge is a good place to watch sailboats come and go. Nearby Little Current is the island's largest town, with a lakeside trail, a supermarket and restaurants. It is also an easy base for visiting McLean's Mountain Lookout.
