Located in the City Myrtle
Creek, the Horse Creek Covered Bridge
was originally located in the vicinity
of McKenzie Bridge in Lane County, it spanned
Horse Creek.
Although the bridge had been bypassed by a
concrete span in 1968, it was not removed until
December of 1987.
The bridge's wooden
timbers were given to the City of Cottage Grove
for salvage. Cottage Grove used some of the
timbers to construct a small-scale covered
bridge in their park. The remaining
lumber was donated to the City of Myrtle Creek
in the spring of 1990. The structure
now spans the stream of Myrtle Creek, providing
access from a parking area into the Mill Site
Park in downtown Myrtle Creek. Prior to
removal, this bridge was listed on the National
Historic Register.
