This little covered bridge was rescued from destruction at its original site south of Lincoln City, OR, and reconstructed about 8 miles north on Bear Creek. It sits in a small public park on private property. There is a sign on Hwy 18 about 4 miles east of Hwy 101 directing visitors to the bridge. It is easy to find... More

Although the covered bridge and its history were engaging, we discovered there was no obvious place to park. Then, a dog on the property raced towards us barking. We were spooked until we realized that he just wanted to play; however he would not go away, even when we got back in our car. He pounced on the window until... More

This is actually on private property, but they allow you to walk over the bridge. There is a religious story posted there that is kind of odd, but interesting. Also, they have a super friendly dog who would have gladly come home with me :)

Wow what a nice drive up a secluded road. but dissapointing you could not drive accross. the bridge is a private driveway and you are only allowed to walk accross

we found the signage to the bridge a bit sparse but eventually came to this beautifully restored gem. Obviously a project that the owners were passionate about and the rest of us are blessed to have had this couple painstakingly salvage and restore.

First - before anything else - IGNORE the photo that says it's from "management"! That photo is at least 15 years old (pre-1997) and shows the bridge before it was moved and rebuilt. Drift Creek Covered Bridge was in very poor condition in 1997 and was slated to be destroyed before a grass-roots effort saved it. The heroes of the... More

Bridge is not far from Lincoln city and is step back in time. Interesting old machinery is used for decoration.

We were on our way home and happened to see the sign for this and figured we'd check it out! All I can say is this: If you are in the area and have the chance, go see this! The bridge is in remarkable shape considering its age. But the most interesting part about this is the back story. I... More
