Lover's Lane
In 1888, “Lovers’ Retreat” was completed. This was a long, winding bridge over Pithon Coulee that began at the foot of Front Street and Clarence and ran south and west over a dense cypress swamp.
The elevated footpath was built with supports and handrails nailed from tree to tree. On the western end, the footpath connected with the old shell road.
