A group of three jumping into the deep section of the Merced River
Swinging Bridge is a popular destination in Yosemite Valley, California, United States, for swimming, with an excellent view of Yosemite Falls. The land in the area resembles that of a beach. Although official policy does not allow visitors to jump off the bridge, this is sometimes disregarded. The area on both sides of the bridge has mostly shallow water with a few areas from 6 feet (1.8 m) to 12 feet (3.7 m) deep.
The area northeast of the bridge is available for weddings for up to 20 people. No ceremonies are allowed on the bridge.[1]
