"If the old Covered Bridges history and a long leisurely walk in a Fall color setting touches your heart .then is Perfect for you! I Loved It!"
"This was a cute little out of the way place we hit on the way from Iowa to Kirksville. It is about a 5 minute drive off of Highway 36. It was also a quarter a mile walk from where you park to where the bridge is located. You do not know about the walk until you get to the site. It is not all that accessible by wheelchair if you have to go that route. The walk is on a hard dirt path to the bridge. The bridge is really nice and old. We were not expecting to go here but at the last moment we decided to go and really enjoy it. If you have at least a half an hour to spare on your trip, I highly recommend it."
"Absolutely lovely little bridge! I was there in June and the birdsong was also amazing. Birders - a great place to visit! There is a nice path from the parking area to the bridge. It is level but uneven, of course. A very pretty place. And yes - I would heed the warning about rain/flooding and possible mud. Keep the weather in mind if you visit."
"This bridge is super cool to see. Not much else back there, but the bridge was awesome!! Worth the drive to get there, then stop off at the Pershing State Park that’s close by."
"Beautiful site. The first little bridge crossing the Creek is nicely maintained as is the drive leading up to it. The quarter mile walk is mostly smooth with only a few small and easily maneuverable issues. The land surrounding it is gorgeous, with old growth trees and a very peaceful feeling to it. The Covered Bridge itself is magnificent, it even smells old, which may be gross to you but makes it even more nostalgic to me. It’s a fantastically preserved piece of tangible Missouri history, something to smell and feel and sink into. The story boards in front of the bridge tell the stories well. In summer the land is covered with cutleaf coneflower and it feels like you’ve stepped into a yellow and green fairy glade."
