Fernbridge
When the 1320-foot bridge was built in 1911, it was referred to as the world's largest all-concrete span. Also called Eel River
Bridge, Fernbridge is listed on the National Historic Register for its engineering significance during the period of 1900 to 1924.
The Eel River has both State (1972) and Federal (1981) Wild and Scenic River status.

USGS Gaging Station
Shown here are the orifice lines and outside staff gages on the right bank of the Eel River. These are components of the
USGS gaging station at this site. The depth of the water is proportional to the water pressure as measured at
the orifice tip. The water-level data are continuously transmitted in real time to the
USGS National Water Information System (NWIS).
