I went to the site you linked and will visit the historic park if I'm ever again in Michigan. I last visited in 2002 and camped in Hiawatha National Forest in the UP. I spent a few hours at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and vowed to return to spend a few days exploring the area. Battle Creek's not far from the route I took.

The Clay's Bridge photos were a few of some 500 I took last Thursday at Little Buffalo State Park. A few are posted here https://www.democraticunderground.com/1036137921 and here https://www.democraticunderground.com/1036137975. I have a special interest in unusual perspectives such as the knothole photos you mentioned. While I didn't spend much time at the bridge--fall foliage was why I visited the lake--I did get a few interior shots.

Here's one.

Winter is the best season to photograph bridges. I plan to return to the park and Clay's Bridge this winter.

Thanks for the interesting info and link.
