How to find Screaming Bridge and Hell's Gate (Arlington, TX) River Legacy Park / Read description

Edit: I neglected to mention where exactly the starting point was. There are 3 entrances to River Legacy Park. Use the entrance found on Green Oaks. At the first split, turn left. You will see the playground on your right. Keep driving and you will see a parking lot on your left usually only used for those using the biking trails. This is your starting point. If you have reached the pavilion, than you have gone to far. If you are watching/reading this then you too are tired of looking and searching for information on the exact location of these sites. This forest is huge and would take a very long time to explore every part of it. Then add to the fact that it seems nobody wants to share its location. Well, I am not one of those people and wish to help those searching for it to save time and frustration because I too was once in that situation. I am going to cut straight to the chase and assume you know the tales behind these sites,if not then read the summaries below: These are urban myths that many locals are aware of. Screaming Bridge is fairly easy to find but Hell's Gate seems to elude everyone (including myself). I did the research and searched throughout the internet and YouTube and I finally found it. Urban myths are as follows: Sreaming Bridge They say it happened one dark night as a carload of excited teenagers were returning home from a high school football game, driving down an old country road just outside of Arlington's River Legacy Park. The kids were excited and distracted as they approached the narrow little bridge that ran across the Trinity River, and they did not see the car coming at them on the bridge from the other direction until it was too late to avoid disaster. There was a terrible head-on collision, with both vehicles exploding violently and plummeting off of the bridge and into the waters below. There were no survivors. Since then, they have called it the Screaming Bridge. The road that it is on has long been closed off and the only way of reaching it is on foot through the park. HELLS GATE Somewhere deep inside the tangled green depths of River Legacy Park, in Arlington, there is rumored to be a very old trail surrounded on either side by murky swamps and overhanging trees. This long dirt trail is said to end at a dirt mound––a spot where captured spies of the Union Army were executed. They call this place “Hell's Gate.” It is said that if you can still find the spot you might see the remains of the gateposts where a gate once hung. This passage was supposedly one of the last things the prisoners ever saw, as they were led through it at the end of the trail to the tree where they would be hanged. Some believe that because of all the deaths that took place near the gate at the end of the trail, there are many tormented spirits still residing at Hell's Gate. They claim that if you walk the trail you can still hear the disembodied whispers, sobs, and prayers of the men and women who once walked their final steps to this awful place. #hauntedtexas #arlington #screamingbridge #hellsgate #texas #haunted
