Watson Mill Bridge Park
Known as one of the most picturesque and unique
state parks in Georgia, Watson Mill Bridge contains the longest original-site
covered bridge in Georgia, spanning 229 feet across the South Fork River. The
bridge, more than 100 years old, is supported by a town lattice truss system
held firmly together with wooden pins. At one time, Georgia had more than 200
covered bridges; today, less than 20 remain. The park is an ideal spot for an
afternoon picnic or an overnight stay at the campground. Nature trails and new
hiking/horse trails allow visitors to enjoy a walk through the thick forest
along the river or travel into the park's backcountry.
