Lost Creek Bridge, Covered bridge in Lake Creek, United States
The Lost Creek Bridge is a covered bridge spanning Lost Creek in Jackson County. The structure measures approximately 39 feet in length and uses a queen post truss design with open side portals.
The bridge was built during a period when remote communities sought new methods to cross waterways. It was later recognized as a historic landmark and now serves pedestrians exclusively.
The structure represents early 20th-century engineering methods in Oregon, demonstrating the evolution of transportation infrastructure in rural American communities.
Access to the bridge comes through the adjacent Walch Family Wayside Park with picnic tables and gardens. Visitors should note that the structure is designed for pedestrians only.
The bridge is among the shortest of its kind in Oregon and shows the variety of structures built during this era. Its modest size contrasts with the more elaborate crossings built in larger towns.
