There are 10 covered bridges in Linn County, Oregon. In October 2010, I photographed most of them. This is the Gilkey Bridge over the Thompson Creek. While several of them look similar, the setting here makes this one quite picturesque.

Hoffman Covered Bridge's unique portals

Larwood Covered Bridge Linn County, OR This bridge spans the confluence of Roaring River and Crabtree Creek. Roaring River, which empties into Crabtree Creek near the bridge, is the only river to flow into a creek, an oddity in U. S. geography that was featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not.

Short Bridge over the S. Fork Santiam River Built in 1945. Last of the bridges with a cedar shake roof.

Shimanek Covered Bridge over Thomas Creek Linn County, Oregon This bridge has been damaged, washed out and rebuilt several times since it was first built in the late 1800s.

Hoffman Covered Bridge over Crabtree Creek Near Crabtree, Oregon Gothic style windows grace this structure, instead of the usual open Linn County truss design. The portal design, originally rounded when the bridge was constructed, was enlarged and squared to allow passage of larger loads. The upper chords show signs of being shaped by hand and as most bridge crews in 1936 had yet to use power tools, logs were often cut nearby.
