Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Drift Creek (Bear Creek) Covered Bridge was built in 1914, to span the Drift Creek and to facilitate traffic over the creek. The bridge was constructed out of wood, and is considered to be the oldest covered bridge of its kind in the state. Over several decades, the bridge was subjected to wet coastal weather which eventually rotted away sections of the wood. Eventually, in 1997, it was declared dangerous and was condemned. Due to the efforts of the local community who launched fund-raising efforts to save the bridge, it was eventually moved to its current resting place on top of a concrete bridge over the Bear Creek.
