Bensfort Bridge is a rustic resort where nature surrounds you providing a quiet atmosphere for rest and relaxation. Enjoy the geese swimming on the river while a heron glides gracefully overhead occasionally landing to rest on the docks. One can only smile as you watch the squirrels, chipmunks and rabbits scamper about the property collecting their treasures.
