Swinging Bridge - Jay Cooke State Park

A few years ago, before my wife and I were married, she introduced me to Jay Cooke State Park on a trip up north to see her family. My introduction to the remarkable swinging bridge that makes the focal point of the park came on a chilly winter day. It has since become one of my favorite spots in the Northern Minnesota area. It has since been badly damaged by the historic flooding in the summer of 2012, but I'm thankful I was able to enjoy it while I could and capture it in pictures. I'm hopeful the state will rebuild it better than ever.
