Antelope Creek Bridge

Antelope Creek Bridge is a wooden covered bridge in Eagle Point featuring a queenpost truss design that spans Little Butte Creek. Ribbon openings beneath the eaves create a distinctive architectural character that defines its appearance.

The bridge was built in 1922 by brothers Wes and Lyle Hartman to serve the Medford-Crater Lake Road crossing. It became an essential link in regional transportation during that era.

The bridge serves as a natural gathering point within Covered Bridge Park, where locals and visitors experience a tangible link to the region's pioneer heritage. Today it anchors community celebrations and remains a symbol of craftsmanship from an earlier era.

The bridge is easily accessible from Highway 62 via Linn Road, with clear local signage guiding you to Covered Bridge Park. The surrounding area is walkable and the site welcomes visitors throughout the day.

In 1987, local volunteers undertook a remarkable effort to transport the entire wooden structure on a makeshift trailer several miles away to prevent deterioration. This salvage operation demonstrated the community's deep commitment to preserving the structure.
