that is State Park So it should be OK.
Just Phone or stop by the Park Office

I think somone here said there are Certain areas that it is off limits Because
of the threat of pieces falling from it.

I could imagine that would be a good place to detect. Think of all the people over the years walking out on that bridge, tossing coins to the bottom for good luck or just to see how far they could fling them. Hmmmm.

Emporium robbery?

I have read a few times that the hold up was in Emporium but it wasn't. The robbery was in Palmerville in Mckean County, which was a few miles from the bridge.

Been there, done that. A local MD club has hit that area regularly for years in the hopes one of their members will turn up the Palmerville Loot. I went with a group and found very little. But hey It's a really big locale so Have fun and lemme know if you need any info about it, like where Palmerville was located.
