What a gem in GA. One of the only covered bridge in GA it's worth the trip. Either walking or driving over the bridge you will love the experience. Great place for a picnic, day hike or just relax by the water. There are picnic tables available, camping on the wkend or canoe on a warm summer days.

Friendly staff at the Visitor Center. There's a trail that runs beside the river, that runs under the bridge. There are several trees that are down, but all back in the woods off the trail, or removed from the trail. The 2.5 mile trail was moderate. It is VERY well marked and we'll maintained!

Beautiful historic one lane bridge. They have covered pavilions with tables, a playground, a gift shop and restrooms are located on the outside of the gift shop on the porch for easy access. We didn't inquire about them, but there were kayaks under shelter, possibly for rent.

We decided to hike one of trails and had a fun morning. My wife and I are both 60 and it’s a fairly easy hike. 2.5 miles and it took about 90 minutes. There’s one slight hill and lots of benches to sit and take a break if needed. After our hike we met up with one of the Park employees, Cole, and he gave us a history lesson about the bridge and other information about the park. It’s a great way to spend a day and I would recommend it to most folks.

there is no sewer hook up but everything else about this Park is absolutely fantastic. It's dark. It's quiet you're surrounded by trees that people are very kind. The covered bridge is a very interesting focal point for the park.
