Swinging Bridge

Swinging Bridge is a popular destination in Yosemite Valley, California, United States, for swimming, with an excellent view of Yosemite Falls.

The land in the area resembles that of a beach.

Although official policy does not allow visitors to jump off the bridge, this is sometimes disregarded.

The area on both sides of the bridge has mostly shallow water with a few areas from 6 feet (1.8 m) to 12 feet (3.7 m) deep.

The area northeast of the bridge is available for weddings for up to 20 people.
