The Spring Lake Bridge is a historic bridge in the eastern part of Ozark-St. Francis National Forest, carrying County Road 35 across an inlet of Spring Lake known as Bob Barnes Branch, in the Spring Lake Recreation Area with the Ozark–St. Francis National Forest. It is a two-span closed-spandrel stone arch bridge with a total length of 36feet. Each arch is 10feet long and 6feet high. Built in 1936 with federal funding, it is one of the state's finest examples of a stone arch bridge.[1]
