Lost Creek Covered Bridge

Lost Creek Covered Bridge in Lake Creek, OR

Lost Creek Covered Bridge is reputed to be Southern Oregon's oldest covered bridge, as well as the shortest. It was built around 1881. This bridge is no longer being used for today's traffic.

Once slated for demolition, this bridge has been preserved for the benefit of generations to come. The development of the Walch Family Wayside Park on property next to the bridge has become a popular spot for community get-togethers.
