There’s something that’s just inherently charming about an old, covered bridge. Hand-built and often featuring intricate designs, covered bridges are quite exquisite works of architectural art. Covered bridges are a beautiful reminder of a bygone era, but are becoming increasingly harder to find. Between 1905-1925, there were an estimated 600 covered bridges built in Oregon. Today, only 50 of these historic structures remain. But my, are they beautiful. As is the case with the Yachats Covered Bridge, which we believe to be the most charming covered bridge in the PNW!

Located in Yachats, Oregon, you'll find the eponymous Covered Bridge along a scenic little backroad.
