It is called a Horton or bowstring bridge. It is not known how many bowstring bridges of Horton's design were built or when the bridge that now serves park visitors was constructed. Today only five other Horton bridges are known. They are also owned by the Department of Natural Resources at the Van Loon Wildlife Area in La Crosse County.
