The DNR has been doing a ton of work on the trail and it's looking excellent.
On that spot, gravel will just sink. Branches (technically known as a corduroy bridge) are not a good idea for a number of reasons, in particular that they retard drainage and become a hazard if not done REALLY well. I know the DNR is well aware of the issue there and has been working on it.
