Clarkson Covered Bridge, Wooden covered bridge in Bethel, Alabama.
The Clarkson Bridge spans 270 feet across Crooked Creek, featuring a traditional Town lattice truss construction with wooden beams and supports.
Built in 1904 for $1,500 by local mail carrier James W. Legg, the bridge underwent reconstruction in 1922 after a flood destroyed half of its structure.
The bridge stands as the centerpiece of Clarkson Covered Bridge Park, which includes a grist mill and a dogtrot log cabin representing regional architecture.
Located on County Road 1043 off U.S. Route 278, the bridge welcomes visitors daily from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM within a dedicated county park.
The site witnessed Civil War skirmishes in 1863 between Union Colonel Abel Streight's forces and Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest's troops.
