The one-lane suspension bridge is picture-perfect any time of year and there’s a nearby trail on the northern side as well.
Less than a minute from the bridge is the perfectly lovely Beaver Town Inn and Trading Post.

The trading post has been a cornerstone of Beaver’s charm for over 100 years.

According to locals, General Sterling Price and his officers stayed at the trading post after their retreat from the Battle of Pea Ridge. This seems to be rooted more in lore than in fact but it’s one of the many stories that makes up the place’s old world feel.
Today the trading post is an eclectic antiques store. It’s easy to spend a few hours getting lost in here.

Pilfer through the shelves of books, find an odd knick-knack you didn’t know you needed, or even take home a jar of locally picked and pickled oyster mushrooms. There’s no telling what you’ll find in this place.
Whether you’re just needing a peaceful porch to sit on after a day of scenic driving or wanting to stroll through the antiques for a while, the Beaver Town Inn and Trading Post needs to be added to your next Eureka Springs trip.
