Carpenters Bluff Bridge was originally built as a railroad bridge for the Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf (MO&G) Line in 1910. Built to withstand major floods, the deck clearance is 19 feet high. The bridge was designed to include a wagon shelf, an extra lane that served travelers on foot and horseback, as well as horse-drawn vehicles. In 2017 a new bridge and bypass was built for modern vehicle traffic. The original bridge still stands beside the new bridge and is a landmark structure across the Red River. Officially closed the adventurous can walk across it and enjoy the incredible views of the Red River and surrounding countryside.
