Old Fair Oaks Bridge
- Landmark
- Regional draw
- Gold River
Old Fair Oaks Bridge spans the American River with a historic metal-truss structure between the Fair Oaks area and the south-bank parkway routes near Gold River.
Its engineering and riverside setting make it a distinctive landmark within the wider American River landscape.
Use designated public approaches and check current local trail or maintenance notices before crossing. The historic bridge should not be treated as an ordinary modern road crossing. The photograph shows the truss and river setting; access and river-edge conditions can change after storms or high water.
