elder mill covered bridge

They are both in their 80s. They loved it! Peaceful and interesting, but we were surprised at the amount of traffic going across the bridge.

The Elder Mill covered bridge, near Watkinsville, GA, is one of only a few functional covered bridges in Georgia and is open to through traffic. There's a turn-off so one can walk across the 99 ft. bridge and take photos. The construction method, using wooden pegs, is worth examining. It's a very pretty rural area, and Rose Creek is a pleasant stream. If you like covered bridges, this is definitely one you should visit.
