Felton Covered Bridge

Felton Covered Bridge is a wooden bridge crossing the San Lorenzo River with brown truss construction and protective walls featuring windows. The structure spans the water with traditional timber bridge elements.

The structure was completed in 1892 and served as Felton's main entrance until 1937. It gained recognition as a California Historical Landmark in 1957.

The bridge sits within Felton Covered Bridge County Park, where people gather for outdoor events and recreation. Visitors come here to enjoy picnics and spend time in the open air.

The pedestrian bridge sits along Graham Hill Road and connects to walking paths and recreation areas. A parking area with roughly 30 spaces is available for visitors.

The structure stands out as the tallest covered bridge in the United States while keeping its original construction elements intact through multiple restorations. This quality makes it a notable example of preserved historical engineering.
