Big Rocky Fork Covered Bridge
Big Rocky Fork Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Parke County, Indiana, US
Big Rocky Fork Covered Bridge is a wooden arch crossing that spans a creek in rural Indiana. The structure features limestone foundations and the type of timber construction typical of this era and region.
Construction of this bridge finished in 1900 during the early years of a new century. The structure has survived more than a hundred years, standing as evidence of how such crossings were built in that era.
This bridge is part of a network of wooden crossings in the region that draws visitors interested in 19th and 20th century construction methods. The structure reflects how rural communities built and maintained their own transportation links.
The bridge sits in a rural area southeast of the town of Mansfield and is reached by county road. Visitors should be prepared for unpaved access routes and farm roads leading to the crossing.
The area near this bridge has a connection to early 20th century crime, as a known bank robber once used it as a hideout. Today the crossing serves only as a historical landmark free of such associations.
