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

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.

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.

My husband and I are frequent visitors of the covered bridges of Parke County. They are beautiful and the landscape is beautiful as well.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!
