There is a nature trail a few hundred yards from the bridge.[8] The bridge was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.[1][9]{{commonscat}} References1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} {{National Register of Historic Places in South Carolina}}2. ^Travelers Rest, SC website. 3. ^Charles Sowell, "Poinsett Bridge is always worth the trip," Greenville News, March 6, 2015, eGreenville, 23. 4. ^{{Cite web | last = Schuette | first = Mary | coauthor = | title = Poinsett Bridge | work = National Register of Historic Places - Nomination and Inventory | date = August 29, 1970 | url = http://www.nationalregister.sc.gov/greenville/S10817723003/S10817723003.pdf | format = pdf | accessdate = 7 July 2012}} 5. ^{{Cite web | title = Poinsett Bridge, Greenville County (S.C.
