This place feels wonderfully remote, so a little heads up that cell service is spotty and it's worth being mindful as you arrive. Once you're there, the quiet really sets in, with wildlife sounds all around and very few cars passing by. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing and peaceful, perfect for slowing down and taking a breath . Picnic benches are scattered nearby, along with trash receptacles, which makes it easy to linger responsibly . The bridge itself is beautiful and well maintained, showing only moderate signs of wear that add character rather than distraction . During our mid autumn visit, the waterway and surrounding landscape were bursting with color , making the views especially memorable. I later realized there was a walking trail close by that I missed, so that's something I'd definitely suggest checking out when you visit ‍. Parking isn't clearly marked or abundant ‍, but with a bit of patience, you'll manage just fine. Overall, it's a quiet, scenic spot that feels refreshingly untouched and worth the effort to find . read more

Fantastic little country roadside find! This historic bridge, one of the two remaining covered bridges in the state of NC and designated a local/federal historical landmark, was built in 1911 at a whopping cost of $40. It was built to span the west fork of the Little River when horse & carriages were the main mode of transportation. There is a great little loop trail that circumvents this section of the Little River w/a little footbridge on the other side and a couple of off-shoots to go down to the water's edge and even rock hop to the middle (do so at your own risk ). Fantastic hues at Golden Hour and the soothing sound of the babbling waters make you quickly forget civilization is right there. I had the place to myself when I went, so the solitude was welcome. Definitely worth a visit when the weather is as gorgeous as it has been! read more

Cool covered bridge, some hiking along the river. It's easy to miss the turn for the parking lot which is small, cell service spotty in this area. Fun trip that only requires a short amount of time. read more

Open to the public from dawn to dusk, this is one of only two historic covered bridges in North Carolina. The 54' structure was built 1911 to span the west fork of the Little River by J.J. Welch for the sum of $40. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. read more

Pisgah Covered Bridge is one of two covered bridges left in NC. When the bridge was built in 1911 it cost $40. The bridge is off the beaten path and you need to take back roads to get there but it is a nice drive. The bridge is in great shape but has been vandalized with graffiti inside as well as outside on the park sign. You can It is free to visit and you can walk a trail or have a picnic. Parking is limited though with three to four spaces and some parking to the left side of the road down to the bridge so I am not sure how they handle a crowd. read more

Other than some graffiti inside (why do people have to do this?), this covered bridge is in pristine condition. Crossing the Little River near Asheboro North Carolina, this bridge is one of two remaining covered bridges in the state. The other is the Bunker Hill Covered Bridge near Claremont https://www.yelp.com/biz/bunker-hill-covered-bridge-claremont?hrid=twO_8DgV2Wt_6oz9CihX6Q and that is about 90 minutes west of here. Built in 1911, it is a one lane bridge that runs 54 feet. Of course, no longer being utilized for traffic for some time now, there is a two-lane concrete bridge adjacent that was built in the 1950s. That one is boring and doesn't get a review. The bridge has a small picnic area if you're bringing lunch and the water underneath was slow and shallow enough for wading. And if you get bored of just the bridge, there is also a quarter-mile trail from the bridge that crosses a few footbridges. It's a neat little spot and I'm glad I made the trip out here. Note that there is not much around for miles. The bridge is noted as a local and federal historic landmark. [Review 13924 overall, 1246 of 2020, number 2568 in North Carolina.] read more

Very nice relic and I don't see how could parking be on a weekend with such limited space. Wish they could also clean the graffiti left behind by people without identity, maybe charge 5 bucks per carload. You've seen one and you've seem all. Nice stop anyway, don't miss it if you are in the area read more

If you are looking for a great little spot to just walk around and enjoy the outdoors for 10 minutes, or propose to your sweetie-pie, or enjoy your lunch quietly in your car, consider this venue. I just love going here, and the drive to get there is scenic and relaxing, too. The Pisgah Covered Bridge is one of only two covered bridges left in NC and has had great upkeep. The little walk around (a lovely shady loop, including a sweet little bridge over the picturesque creek) is absolutely serene. I have been many times to just walk around the loop quietly, or with a partner. The parking lot is tiny, which works well because the venue itself is tiny. So don't expect a crowd, but there might be one or two other people. If you are an artist, it would be a lovely place to come and paint. And bring your camera! read more

What an awesome please to visit and historic place. Just be careful the turn is gravel, rocks, and dirt. read more

One of two covered bridges in NC, as noted by Steve S, Pisgah covered bridge is a throwback to horse and buggy days. It's easy to find, but the road from Asheboro is two-lanes, almost no shoulder, and winds through the countryside. Once you find the turn-off to the bridge, there are several picnic tables nearby and a short trail through the woods downstream from the bridge away from the highway. It's an interesting dichotomy: an old wooden bridge and a modern road only a few dozen feet away. At one time there were 60 covered bridges in Randolph County according to the County Historian (how amazing is that where an entire county has its own historian!) but now there's only Pisgah. I used to wonder why bridges had roofs and then learned that it helped the bridge last longer as it kept it from being exposed to the elements. It also gave cover to people traveling in storms, or to calm animals that were hesitant to cross. According to the records, the corner beams on bridges were used as the original community bulletin board. I guess not much has changed there, as nearly every square inch of this bridge on the inside, including the ceiling beams and some of the floor and stone markers that keep cars from driving over the bridge, are covered with graffiti. None of it is interesting. Maybe the county should invest in a few bulletin boards. Probably won't help, though. Anything interesting or noteworthy about a covered bridge is probably somewhere in any of the fascinating Yelp reviews of them by Richard R from Suwanee GA. Check them out and then check out Pisgah Covered Bridge. Do both, you can't go wrong. read more

My husband and I were on a little two night getaway and found this little bridge along the way. I'm obsessed with covered bridges so of course I made him stop to look at it. It seemed smaller in person but it was still beautiful to see. Unfortunately, like so many places, the inside of the bridge has graffiti and other things on it. There's a little path that goes around the bridge for a short little walk that makes you feel like you're in the mountains. This area is mostly farms and some rolling hills so it was a little hidden gem to check out on the little creek. If anything it's the perfect picture spot! read more

Pisgah Covered Bridge - The outside area - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Asheboro, North Carolina

Great quick tourist area! It's a great 1/4 walk. Bring your camera! Bring chalk to leave a message inside the bridge. No bathrooms!

Charming spot with nicely graded paths that loop into the woods and across a picturesque creek. Not really wheelchair accessible. As has been noted elsewhere, it is sad that people feel the need to tag it, as if it's a bathroom or picnic shelter. read more

This is a super cute place. Great for a first timers hike or taking the kids on an adventure. Took less than 20 minutes to walk the trail. It's very clean and well kept. And there are some picnic tables if you want to sit and enjoy a meal or snack. Based on the pictures I've seen, I can't wait to come back here for fall photos. And it's not too far of a drive. Kind of out in the cuts. A great time though. read more
