Hoffman Bridge

A quaint whitewashed covered bridge that was built in 1936.

Reviewed By X4518BIpaulv - Albany, United States

I actually wrote a story about the covered bridges of the Willamette Valley and thoroughly enjoyed finding all these 'roofs over rivers' in Linn County. Schamanek Bridge is another must see for the covered bridge nuts, and if you a bit adventurous, travel from one to the next on a bike and take a picnic.

Chambers Railroad Bridge

Reviewed By dunadan - Lynnwood, United States

We stopped by the Chambers Railroad Bridge on our tour of the covered bridges in and near Cottage Grove. The Chambers Bridge has the best information, both in signage inside the bridge itself and in a series of informative displays on the eastern end of the bridge. This is nice, quick stop to learn about the history of the area.

Reviewed By 418dickl - Battle Ground, United States

We toured several bridges in the area and the Gallon House was one of them. A very interesting history and the setting was very good too.

Shimanek Bridge

Reviewed By Shi1933

I was raised on the Shimanek Farm! Swam below, fished under and walked to School on the Shimanek Bridge 1939 to 1951 then visited the farm and bridge every year until 2004 when I became incapacitated! I'm 86 and the only way I can visit is to look at my pictures and reflect! I'm the oldest living grandson of John Shimanek who homesteaded the farm and built the first Shimanek Covered Bridge with a toilet inside it! Shimanek Reunions were held each summer in a park on the NW side of the Bridge that I, my dad, uncles & cousins made! Shimaneks from every where came! (Guess Why toilet was inside the Covered Bridge?) Love, Dr.Verne Shimanek

St. Johns Bridge

Reviewed By PickyBaer - Portland, United States

This is one of the most famous, loved, and walked bridges in the Portland area. Originally built as the test for the Golden Gate, the gothic spires soar majestically over the road and walkways.

Astoria-Megler Bridge

Reviewed By AptosAmy

The Astoria-Megler Bridge, on West Marine Drive, in Astoria, OR 97103 is elegant and a masterful feat of engineering. It is fun to drive over. 53 year old and the longest continuous truss bridge in North America, spanning the Columba River from Oregon to Washington.

Yaquina Bay Bridge

Reviewed By 59AnneK - Salem, United States

I never get tired of photographing this bridge. It captures the uniqueness of the Yaquina Bay area, with fishing and pleasure boats often gliding underneath, and sometimes a rosy sunset behind it.
