grave creek covered bridge

One of my personal favorite bridges, mostly because of the history in the region. It's now open again, repairs are finished. https://gravecreekranch.wordpress.com

Visit the Grave Creek covered bridge for a history lesson. See the grave site of Martha Crowley who died there after crossing Mt. Sexton. Historical maker. Next to the Applegate Museum which is a very interesting place it self.

This is a nice enough bridge, but how long can one marvel at a country bridge? What's special about it? Oh, I know. It's a covered bridge. It's good for a 5 minute photo op but that seems to be about it. There are thousands like it throughout the country with a much more impressive history. If you're passing by check it out, but don't go far out of your way.

This old wooden covered bridge over Grave Creek is interesting. It makes you think about times past and the people and animals that used the bridge. Jane L.

I have stop here a number of times and have enjoyed the stop. Good info about the Applegate Trail. Stop take some photos and enjoy.

Nice bridge, but in the midst of renovations/construction, so not exactly a peaceful stop. Probably would be nice once renovations are completed, and good due to proximity to the Applegate Interpretive Center.

Went there in mid-Sept 2013, and the bridge is blocked off. Maybe for repairs? If you want to explore the whole area, there appears to be a detour to another back road -- But we were just interested in going across the bridge and taking some pictures of what we'd been told is a pretty little valley just beyond.Well, it's only a minute off the freeway (I-5, exit 71), so we will try again on another trip through southern Oregon.

It is a covered bridge, in a nice location, and easy to reach from I-5. But after snapping a few pictures, there is nothing more to do but continue on your travels.

When in Sunny Valley if you take the exit and head east of I-5 you are there. You can see it from the freeway. It is not remarkable as they go but it is convenient to get to.

If you are traveling on Interstate 5 in Southern Oregon and have never seen a covered bridge, this is your chance. Oregon has over 50 covered bridges, mostly in Western Oregon. This one is just a mile off I-5, exit 70 and you will see signs telling you where to exit. It's free and worth a look.
