Buffalo Creek Preserve, located near Mount Pleasant, NC, was developed for recreational hiking by the Catawba Lands Conservancy and is part of the Carolina Tread Trail. One would think this wonderful suspension bridge spans Buffalo Creek but it does not. This is Adams Creek which flows into Dutch Buffalo Creek nearby. Dutch Buffalo Creek flows into the Rocky River and then the Pee Dee.
Crossing this bridge with more than one person at a time is a dizzying experience. Here is a video of just me making the crossing.
The bridge was designed and built by Alpine Towers in Arden NC. They specialize in climbing towers as well as suspension bridges.
This is the largest American holly I've ever seen. It has 5 trunks and towers over the utility lines.

Frozen trail turned to mud by the time I turned around to head back to the trailhead.
