According to the Bend Parks and Recreation District, this small covered bridge was constructed by a movie company in the early 1990s in exchange for filming some scenes in the park, including the bridge.

The bridge across Tumalo Creek was built upon the footings of a much larger logging railroad trestle that spanned the canyon of Tumalo Creek from 1941 to 1957.

When park is open to autos you can drive to the bridge otherwise park at entrance and walk about three quarters of a mile to bridge.
Current Condition of Bridge: Needs paint and minor repairs.
