Here's a link to the DNR maps
Pull up the Ford lake map. You'll see the road that runs into the lake (middle of the lake)
The bridge connected the 2 sides

Shouldn't be to hard to find
You line yourself up with both roads

Thanks guys!!!! Here is a cool article I found on the bridge and why it's still down there.... As stated in the article, it is found off of Tuttle Hill rd. in 25' of water and 50 yard from shore.... Ice over the years has flipped it over.

Checked Google Earth. Didn't see anything obvious like a bridge but I imagine that water is darker so visibility wouldn't allow much light to reach 25 feet. You can see where the road used to hit the lake crossing. I wonder if the obvious is that Tuttle Hill Rd crossed to Harris Rd on the North? There is some pattern change to the East a little and closer to the South shore. Maybe that is part of the bridge?

Yes, Turtle hill crossed over

The bridge was shorter, It was a river crossing at that time
When they darned the river they made the lake
