Image is a summer view of a log bridge in foreground spanning a swift moving stream identified as Willow Creek at mile 10 of the "Lucky Shot-St. Peter" road (now "Willow Creek" road). The bridge consists of log cribbing at each side of the stream with log stringers lying over the stream between them. The ends of logs lying crosswise on the stringers to form the running surface are evident with a horizontal guard log on top. The stream visible under the bridge is at low water with many rounded stream-bed boulders visible. Heavy spruce forest forms the middle and background feature.
