Road Trip

Oregon's Covered Bridges

Covered Bridge LowellThere's something romantic and mysterious about covered bridges. Maybe because they hearken back to simpler times. Maybe because they've carried generations of travelers by foot, bike and car. They are certainly paths less traveled than their modern counterparts, and therefore special, compelling. Journey with Oregon Lakes & Rivers to some of these bridges, including events and maps. Read more here.
