I recently discovered this covered bridge about 20 minutes outside of Nevada City. The Oregon Creek is along the Yuba River in North San Juan. It is part of the Tahoe National Forest.
The bridge originally opened in the early 1870's and was totally restored in early 2018. I searched the web and found that the bridge was closed to traffic before it was rebuilt, because it was in such bad shape.
The rebuilt bridge uses some of the same wood that was used in the original bridge.
Under the bridge you will find a beautiful creek that is used for fishing and swimming.
This is a panorama made up of 5 images. Because my tripod wasn't totally level, you can see a little distortion in the bridge shape.
When you cross the bridge, you will find a large parking lot with bathrooms, park tables and a sandy beach that gives you access to this large open section of the river. You can swim and even use the rope swing.
