Lost Creek Covered Bridge, Eagle Point

Lost Creek Bridge is the shortest of all Oregon covered bridges at 39 feet long, and some claim the oldest still standing, built as early as 1878-81. It was finally closed to traffic in 1979. The official construction date is 1919, but it is believed it was partially or fully rebuilt then. Bridge was constructed with the typical Queenpost truss design, shingle roof, flying buttress braces. and diagonal floor planking. A small park sits next to the bridge. and includes a few picnic tables, a small bandstand, BBQ areas, early 1900s outhouse, various farming equipment (I love the tractor), and a pedestrian bridge over the creek. Located in Eagle Point, about 30 minutes east of Medford, Oregon. Last pic is of the Leaning Barn of Lost Creek (I made that title up)...it was near the bridge....curious how long it'll continue to stand without any help. :O

This a must visit Bridge ! Great little drive off Hwy 140 down in a little valley. A park area is located beside the old bridge with some historic items about the area and the bridge.
