In the story, those who lived in Shangri-La never grew old … but since this is actually down the road from there, I guess the magic doesn’t reach that far.

This is part of the boardwalk at the Watchable Wildlife section of the Lake Ouachita Vista Trail. The fully-accessible trail goes around an open field, through a short stretch of woods, then comes to this boardwalk with a bridge over Gap Creek and a fishing dock.
