3 Charming Covered Bridges in Ohio

After our stay in Hocking Hills last fall, on the way back to Columbus, Nic and I ventured into Lancaster to explore for a bit. We checked out this awesome park and then decided to off road even more into the country of Fairfield County to see some covered bridges.covered-bridge-ohioWe googled this map and specifically, this map of Covered Bridges in Fairfield County and went from there. First stop: The Mink Hollow Covered Bridge, built in 1887. This bridge is so cool but really is in the middle of nowhere which made it even better.

Next stop was the Johnston Covered Bridge which was built in 1887 and restored in 1996 in its original location. This is the longest bridge we saw and is not as secluded as the Mink Hollow Bridge.

The last and best bridge on our list was the Rock Mill Covered Bridge, built in 1901 over a gorge before the falls of the Hocking River. This covered bridge is smaller than the other ones we visited but its setting is just beautiful. It stands beside Rock Mill and as you can see from the photos, this Mill and Bridge are very picturesque.fall-in-ohio

    Hello- your posts and pics are just beautiful! I like your appreciation of small and simple things. Wondering what you loved in Lancaster… we are planning an overnight trip and so far it’s the Rock Mill brewery and some hiking planned.
