A really tall, very long covered bridge. Its historical plaque says that it was built in 1904, washed away by a flood in 1921 (it must have been a major flood, given how high it is above stream below), rebuilt, and then restored in 1975. There are picnic tables that people can use when the weather's nice, and also a couple of old buildings and a mill water wheel that no longer functions. The site also has a small gift shop and restrooms.
