Red Oak Creek Covered Bridge · Covered Bridge Road, Woodbury, GA 30293
Outdoor stop; daylight recommended
State tourism marks the bridge year-round and still open to light traffic, but its midnight-to-midnight hours fields are not treated as guaranteed gate access. Follow current road signs and use the pull-off in daylight.
- 1840s Town lattice construction
- Horace King history
- Meriwether-Pike Scenic Byway detour
Before you go 
- Choose daylight and obey posted vehicle, height, weight and closure signs; the historic structure remains vulnerable to traffic damage.
- Use the roadside pull-off without blocking the one-lane bridge or neighboring access.
- The site has limited facilities, so plan food and restroom stops in Woodbury or Warm Springs.
