                                            HALE DUCK DECOY MOAT BRIDGE

 

Hale Duck Decoy is surrounded by a moat, to make it secure. A bridge is used to cross it. We don't know what the earliest bridge looked like but we do have pictures of the last three.

These pictures were taken in the late 1800's.

 This bridge was used from the 70's (with some modifications to the counter balance and a metal casing being added in the mid 80's) till 2004.
