Had a great time visiting the Historic Humpback Covered Bridge today! The area is beautiful and the water in the river was fantastic, perfect for a peaceful afternoon. They have portable/box-style restrooms on-site which was convenient. My only complaint is the unnecessary graffiti inside the bridge; it’s a shame to see such a historic landmark ruined like that. Still worth a visit for the scenery and history!

Visitor notes
The history of the bridge is interesting and the park itself is nice. And the bridge of course is the big draw, especially being the last bridge of its kind. And there is a LOVE sign here at the park. Only thing I didn't care for is the graffiti inside the bridge. Although, I believe the park allows people to put where thier from, when they were here, the love of thier life, etc.....I guess as long as thier proper and decent about what they leave.
The bridge and little park are very pretty. There are two clean, stocked portapotties - one is ADA. The bridge itself is very scenic from the outside, and inside if you can ignore the vast amounts of graffiti. I just don't get why people feel the need to deface a 200 year old bridge. Other than that it was a lovely visit and nice place to stretch our legs and walk our dogs. ***** There is no charge to visit this park.
This is a neat area to explore. The bridge is scenic. There are good views of the creek and 2 other bridges for the railroad & highway from the bridge. There is plenty of parking, picnic tables & clean/stocked port-a-lets.
What a beautiful little stop for my wife and I. I thought the natural beauty of the crystal clear running water and the wildlife was absolutely stunning. And I know this may not be everyone opinion but I didn’t mind the vandalism. We are so glad to have stopped, and surprisingly it was just a few miles out of the way from our original stop. Don’t pass it by it’s worth it!
This was a sudden stop because we saw the Sun and I'm so glad we did. It is the cutest spot. A great place for a picnic or to take a little dip in the water to cool off! Also very good for pictures
This is such a great bridge! I've seen several covered bridges over the years, but the construction of this bridge is amazing! Plus you get to walk through it and touch it. Just wish people would quit marking it up. It's over a nice body of water with a park area around it. Would be a great place to picnic. Make sure you look up when you walk into it.
Small park around this historic bridge Lots of picnic tables and portajohns available. Great place to skip rocks, walk in the creek, and read all the names inside the bridge.
