LEE'S FERRY BRIDGE


Taken circa December 2004 in Cheat Lake, West Virginia

The Lee's Ferry Bridge crosses Cheat Lake near Morgantown, WV. I actually don't think this is a lake but rather a lakeish like part of the Cheat River perhaps. According to Wikipedia.org The Cheat River is a tributary of the Monongahela in eastern West Virginia and southwestern Pennsylvania in the United States. Via the Monongahela and Ohio Rivers, it is part of the Mississippi River Shed.

Bridges are cool in West Virginia and Pennsylvania...partly because the areas are so mountainous (at least according to locals) or hilly (according to those of us from Utah).

One of the most famous bridges in the world is located in the southern part of WV. It is the New River Gorge bridge which spans over 3000 feet and is almost 900 feet off the river below. The bridge is actually featured on West Virginia's quarter.
