*Carver Bridge: The Clackamas River at Carver was originally crossed using a slack-line ferry orperated by Horace Baker. Subsequently a wooden covered bridge spanned the river and is reported to have been the longest covered bridge in the State. The modern steel truss bridge replaced the wooden bridge, and is itself now slated for replacement in 2009. Located alongside the wooden bridge was a large train trestle of the C & E Railway. That line extented out past Viola and served several sawmills and communities
