Oregon Creek Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Yuba County, California

Oregon Creek Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge spanning Oregon Creek just above its confluence with the Middle Yuba River, about 3 miles northeast of North San Juan in the Oregon Creek Day Use Area of Tahoe National Forest. Its hand-hewn Ponderosa Pine beams are roughly 16 inches square, the portals curve to meet the traveler at either end, and the roof is now corrugated metal over a deck carried by metal I-beams.

The structure was built in 1860 to serve mining and logging communities during the Nevada mining expansion period. After a flood in 1883, it was relocated back to its position, which unintentionally altered its orientation.

The bridge's portals curve inward to meet travellers at either end, a feature noted as unique in American covered bridge building. Tom Freeman ran it as a toll bridge alongside another span over the Middle Yuba until his death in 1892; Yuba County then took it over around 1910 and still operates it. Graffiti covers much of the interior.

The bridge stands about 3 miles northeast of North San Juan, just off California State Route 49, inside the Oregon Creek Day Use Area of Tahoe National Forest. It is open to light motor vehicles with a 5-ton weight limit after its 2018 rehabilitation. Pedestrians can walk through it, and the day use area has picnic spots.

The 1883 flood of the English Dam lifted the bridge off its abutments and carried it downstream. When the waters fell, the bridge lay about 50 yards below its original site. Tom Freeman hired logger Solon Chatfield to haul it back, but the bridge had been turned end for end, so its west end was placed on the east abutment and vice versa, as it remains today.
