Chasm Brook Bridge and the Bates Memorial Path

The most remote bridge, and the first memorial path, now gone quiet.

strenuous Few people Position approximate
The memorial path itself is unmaintained; stay on the carriage road.

The 1926 bridge over Chasm Brook is the farthest from any road. The Chasm Path that passed near it was renamed for Waldron Bates and finished in 1910 as the island's first memorial path. It is unmaintained now, and a plaque reported along it has never been found.
