The Aiken Road Bridge
The Aiken Road Bridge over Floyds Fork is on the Kentucky Inventory of Historic
Resources. In the Spring, Summer and Fall, beneath the bridge, it is not unusual to
see fish and spiny soft shell turtles or "leather backs", as they are known
locally.  There are also frogs, freshwater
mussels, and interesting aquatic plants at this location. Besides the bridge stands
a 67 1/2" diameter sycamore that may be the largest tree anywhere along Floyds Fork
in Jefferson County. Nearby are other noteworthy trees including a 40" diameter
American elm, a 40+" diameter white ash and a 42" diameter sycamore.
Continue down Aiken Road. Turn right onto Johnson Road.
