Suspension Bridges Crossing Methow River
This is a list of the only bridge from the suspension bridge inventory crossing Methow River. Please note that different rivers with the same name will be grouped together.

- Methow Valley News - Tawlks-Foster Suspension Bridge gets a major overhaul. Article dated May 22, 2025. "The 30-year-old Tawlks-Foster Suspension Bridge on the Methow Community Trail in Mazama is currently undergoing critical periodic maintenance. The work on the 280-foot span began on May 13 and will continue through June 30… It came to be known as the 'economy bridge' by the predecessor of Methow Trails, Methow Valley Sport Trail Association, because of the astonishingly low cost of engineering and construction due to the support of so many organizations."
- Sahale, LLC. The Sahale site shows the bridge being load tested with a Chevy Suburban, so the deck is wide enough for vehicular traffic, but the bridge appears to be restricted to foot and hoof traffic.
