Cedarburg Covered Bridge is one of just a few iconic covered bridges that still exist in Wisconsin. The bridge was constructed in 1876 and spans 120 feet crossing Cedar Creek. Pedestrians can still cross over the pine and oak bridge which was listed on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1973. Visitors can drive over a more modern bridge built just a few yards away and see the Cedarburg Covered Bridge by car. A replica of this iconic bridge was built in Waushara County in 1997. Visitors can relax in Covered Bridge Park when visiting the bridge and enjoy fishing, bird watching, canoeing, and picnicking.
