Glen Helen Covered Bridge 1885

Since it is only open to pedestrians, the bridge is hard to find because it is not along the main road. Your GPS would lead you to a small and limited parking space along the road. You need to walk a hundred meters or so, through the greens, to see the bridge.

The bridge sits off the road. Was chilly day out, but I still got to see it. Lots of graffiti it's still cool to see.

Wonderful old bridge. Built 1886 by Henry Hebble; relocated 1975. Too bad, some people desecrated it with graffiti

Saw this pop up on Google Maps while exploring the area. Not marked particularly well, but was easy to find due to the small pulloff parking area which a few other vehicles were parked in. Just a short walk from the road, the bridge is very cool. Nice craftsmanship. It's covered with graffiti inside now, which would normally irritate me, but in this case it sort of adds character. Nobody else was on the bridge, leading me to believe the other people from the lot were exploring the adjoining hiking trails. We did not do so, but they looked promising.

Beautiful hiking trail. Just be careful of the poison ivy and nettles. There's a few plants that grow near nettles that alleviate the pain. They have rounder leaf scales and also look like metallic silver when you dip them in water. That's how you know they're the right ones to rub on you. Bring bug spray too.

A beautiful spot to get in touch with nature. While the bridge I awesome the surrounding nature is stunning.

Beautiful bridge. Not an old one but still fun to visit!

Always a beautiful serene place to visit. If nature and beauty are your solace then Yellow Springs is the destination. Added bonus I'd Youngs Dairy right down the road. Almost like a mini vacation.

At the conference of Yellow Springs Creek and the Little Miami River. A beautiful place for a leisurely amble. Has access to the southern part of Glen Helen Nature Preserve.

Lovely place to take the kids, used to be an even better party place as a kid lol. Great memories w/ great people. I am so blessed to have grown up in such an area.

Who doesn't like covered bridges! One of three in the area. Be sure to visit all of them

Worth the drive

Beautiful piece of history

Very scenic Bridge with such a beautiful hiking trail along the river.
