Swinging Bridge, also known as Swinging Bridge Picnic Area, is a scenic spot in Yosemite National Park.[1] It offers a view of Yosemite Falls and the Merced River.[1][2]

Description

Contrary to its name, the bridge itself does not swing.[1] The original bridge was replaced with a fixed bridge after it was damaged by a flood in 1964.[1] Severe flooding in 2018 caused debris such as trees and mattresses to stick to the sides of the bridge.[2]

The land in the area resembles that of a beach.

The area on both sides of the bridge has mostly shallow water with a few areas from Script error: No such module "convert". to Script error: No such module "convert". deep.

Visitors are encouraged to shout at bears to scare them away.[1]
