    This 245-foot bridge is probably the most-photographed covered bridge in...

    I love this Covered bridge. I like the waterfall and the rocks and the creek. The surrounding area is good too.

    The bridge was rebuilt in 2006 after an arsonist destroyed the original old bridge. It was rebuilt faithful to the original design and is still the most visited, photographed and painted bridge in the County.

    This bridge and the surrounding area are beautiful! Worth the leisurely drive! There are lots of other covered bridges in Park County, Indiana. You can stop by the welcome center and pick up a map that contains 4 different driving loops that are easy to follow. This is a great couple's trip!

    Loved everything about this and the tents offered both bargain deals as well as good quality items for gifts.

    It was fun to see the old bridges. The shopping was fun. The selection of food from the venders in Rockville was very good. Did not like the Old Jail Inn. Could be a little dangerous since it had no fire exit or sprinklers.

    I'm giving this bridge high marks because even though it was destroyed by fire, enough people cared about it to rebuild it in 2006. It is 245 feet long. They did a great job and it looks just like the old ones in the area. Granted I'm not a bridge expert. It is in a beautiful area, with the Big Racoon Creek running under it and forming a small waterfall area on the right side. Slightly behind it sits an old mill and the two together with the falls make a lovely picture. The mill still grinds flour, which they sell and also use in making buns for their sandwiches in their snack area, plus they have other gift items in the mill. Fun stop on a beautiful fall day.

    The best time to go is before (about 2 weeks or so to avoid all the ridiculous signage plastering everything and the vendors setting up early) or after the festival that way you know, if you plan on eating and shopping, you're supporting the locals and you can still enjoy the fall colors and purchase the harvest time products for sale. At festival time traffic and crowds can be overwhelming. Way too much imported junk and bad for you food trailers that are at EVERY fair, carnival or similar attraction anywhere in the U.S. There is also a lot of stuff that can be purchased at the nation's largest retailer. Please don't go and patronize these bozos, they have nothing to do with covered bridges and harvest time and probably don't even know what the meaning of the festival is supposed to be. The bridge and mill and the quaintness of the town are the main attractions. There are 31 bridges on five colored routes, some antiquing to be done but you must be devoted, and beautiful scenery. Enjoy!

    Loved our visit to Indiana. We traveled the countryside for hours, met great people, had great food and enjoyed the fall colors. Went to the festival in Rockville and Mansfield, and yes there were a lot of people, however we felt it added to the ambiance. A true Americana! Had to find the gems and treasures, and we did find a few. Only issue we had was flying home with anything large... next time we're taking a truck! Loved the farms, old barns and multitude of photo ops. Beautiful symmetry! We'll go back again.

    It took 53 minutes to drive 2 miles so we stopped at the History Museum in Brazil. We had a personal tour by the volunteer guide. When the traffic was better we went on to Mansfield to find mostly cheap junky Imports, stuff that would be for sale at a carnival of fair, not the quality handicrafts we were looking forward to. The bridges are there year round, so it's NOT worth the crowds.

    Great small town on the national historic records. Beautiful bridge with waterfall and a grist mill. Grist Mill and General Store still in operation. Friendly, welcoming people. Met a lady who lived in the lavendar home built in the 1800's who bubbled over with pride in her little town.

    There are 3 driving routes to many covered bridges within Park County. The available maps are very accurate and easy to follow. The bridges are well cared for and many you can drive over. The countryside is beautiful, but very rural. We hoped to picnic by a bridge and saw no picnic tables. Also, no rest rooms. You have to go back to Rockville to find a rest room. They claim paved roads, but if you want to see all of the bridges, you will be on gravel roads. They will have the whole package if they will add some picnic tables and a porta potty here and there.

    Parke County, Indiana boasts 35 covered bridge, some you can drive through and some are off the road. The countryside is beautiful: rolling hills, forests, deer, Amish horse and buggies.I highly recommend getting the map that the county publishes as some of the bridges are off the beaten path. The map has 5 different color-coded routes that are quite well-marked. Since we went during the summer, there were no crowds. I understand that during their festival in October it gets quite crowded.
  • Davenalli
    My husband and I are frequent visitors of the covered bridges of Parke County. They are beautiful and the landscape is beautiful as well.

    It takes awhile to find the bridges-suggest getting a map! The bridges maps are more helpful than you might think.

    This festival begins in Rockville around the court house in the center of town. It has been there since 1957. It always begins the 2nd friday in october. There are 5 driving routes which you take you through different towns to see the covered bridges. Some of the towns like Bridgeton set up yard sales as you drive through. The town of Rockville has so many vendors around the court house inside huge tents you walk through. Stores stay open in town and have special deals also. There are lots of food vendors in the lawn area with great food and tables to sit and eat. Plan a weekend here in order to drive the different routes and stop for pictures and shopping. Each route is about 30 miles but takes awhile to drive because your on country roads. Find a place to stay months or even a year in advance. The places fill up fast because of this festival. The starting point to this is ohio street in Rockville Indiana and really worth the trip. We took our 4 year old and he loved it, seeing the bridges and walking across them. Stopping to look at the sites along the way. Rockville has my vote, this is the 4th time we've done this trip.
