Byars

Byars is a little dot in the road town with a population around 280- the entire town is only a mile and half long so don't go to fast or you'll pass it all together! I found this place a few years ago when I was out driving around with my friend Lisa. It is a really neat old one way bridge that has some amazing architecture and view!









Byars can be reached by taking highway 59 off I35. To reach the bridge take exit 86 from I35 towards Wayne. Go about 19 Miles East on 59 through Rosedale and you will come into Byars. There will be a line of old buildings (pictured above) and you will turn left (north) and follow this road. It will make 2 hard turns, first to the right then to the left, keep following the main road and you will drive right onto the bridge! Be sure to look ahead and make sure no one is coming! There are places on each side to pull over and park if you want to walk out on the bridge, it is also a great 4-wheeling spot if you like that! Just watching the river there were lots of big fish that kept surfacing just under the bridge if you enjoy river fishing too!

Enjoy Byars! Just another one of Oklahoma's little secrets!
