Would you like them alphabetically? Listed by length? Date of construction? There are lots of ways to chop up the list of covered bridges in Lane County, but the best way to experience them is to download a map (below) and bike, hike or drive them. Covered bridges enjoy a long and storied history in Oregon, and nowhere more so than in a 30-mile radius of Eugene/Springfield. No other county west of the Mississippi can boast as many. Of the 20 historical bridges in Lane County, you can still drive across 14 and 16 are listed on the National Register of Historical Places.
