Drift Creek Falls Oregon
The Drift Creek Bridge is a covered bridge in Lincoln County in the Oregon. Built in 1914.
Originally built south of Lincoln City only 1.5 miles from the coast, the bridge was considered the oldest remaining covered bridge in Oregon.
The span once served traffic on a main north-south route along the Oregon coast. New roads and highways were built later, thus diverting most of the traffic from the now remote site.
After the bridge was bypassed with a concrete span in the mid-1960s, Lincoln County passed an ordinance preserving the wooden structure as an historical memorial to the Lincoln County pioneers.
However, in early 1988, Lincoln County officials had to close the Drift Creek Bridge to pedestrian traffic due to the deteriorating condition of the span. Excessive rot and insect damage had weakened the bridge to a dangerous level. Steel beams were installed inside the bridge to keep it from falling into the water.
The area around the bridge was excavated in an effort to isolate the structure and limit access.
TDrift Creek Falls is a waterfall formed west of Valley of the Giants, east side of the city of Lincoln City in Lincoln County, Oregon. Access to Drift Creek Falls is located along a trail constructed by the Forest Service in the 1990s and features a 240 foot long suspension bridge crossing Drift Creek.
This 3.1-mile out-and-back trail near Otis, Oregon. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 1 h 26 min to complete.
