The Albion River Bridge is a historic wooden trestle bridge spanning the Albion River on Highway 1. Built in 1944, it is one of the last remaining wooden bridges on the California coast. Its rustic structure provides a unique vantage point for viewing the river's estuary and the rugged coastline. Visitors can park nearby to walk across the bridge, capturing photos of the timber architecture and the scenic waterway below.
