Peterson Bridge is the last take-out before Low Bridge. This large landing area sits just before a sharp bend in the river that will take paddlers underneath the M-37 Bridge. A pond area at the site is home to many species of wildflowers and turtles. The picnic shelter was built in the early 1930's by Civilian Conservation Corps. This site was reconstructed in 2010 and has had many updates and improvements.
