These 21 Beautiful Covered Bridges In Arkansas Will Remind You Of A Simpler Time

Covered bridges have a peaceful and original kind of beauty. These structures fit very well within Arkansas, a state known for being a scenic splendor. Photographers have made their way around the Natural State and caught these covered bridges on camera, and Dale J. Travis was good enough to create a state-by-state gallery of America’s covered bridges and other unique structures on the web. We appreciate being able to share the work of these photographers and are happy to see the locations preserved in pictures.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.
