I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
There’s something inherently charming about swinging bridges. Exciting to encounter on the trail, wonderfully wobbly to cross, bridges take an ordinary outing to the next level. And in Wayne County, Kentucky, you’ll find three swinging bridges, each more delightful than the last. Plan to spend a day exploring these three swinging bridges in Kentucky, and be prepared to be positively enchanted by these sweet little structures!
In an area known as the "Houseboat Capital of the World," it should come as no surprise that Wayne County, Kentucky, is home to numerous bridges.
You'll find three of these charming structures all within a stone's throw of one another: Freedom Swinging Bridge, Ritner Swinging Bridge, and Greenford Swinging Bridge.
The Ritner Swinging Bridge is the best-known of the trio; this 258-foot-long structure was recently restored, and is surrounded by peaceful, natural Bluegrass beauty.
