The Bridgeton Covered Bridge Is “Indiana’s Most Famous Covered Bridge”

The Bridgeton Covered Bridge spans the mill pond, a body of water formed by the mill dam, resting just above the cascading waterfall. Locals often refer to it with a smile as the “Dam Waterfall.”

What makes this bridge truly special is its setting. Very few covered bridges in the world cross directly over a waterfall, and that unique placement has earned the Bridgeton Covered Bridge the title of Indiana’s Most Famous Covered Bridge.

Standing on the bridge, you can watch the Big Raccoon Creek flow beneath you, tumble over the falls, and power the historic Bridgeton Mill—a scene that perfectly blends history, nature, and small-town charm.

Of course, the Historic Bridgeton Mill sits on the end of the dam. This gives us the view that makes us famous...
