I have always loved the old covered bridges. While in Georgia over the weekend we went to Watson Mill Bridge State Park. It is a lovely park with a lazy river running thru it. Canoe and pedal boat rentals are available and many people get in the water and cool off on hot summer days. The covered bridge is a long one and the first one that I have seen that you actually drive thru. All of the ones I have seen in the past are closed and you can walk thru them but not allowed to drive thru them so this was a treat. The bridge was built in 1885 and was 236 feet long. It is the longest covered bridge in Georgia and one of the longest in the United States. And yes, this covered bridge is located in Madison County! David and I had a picnic lunch next to the bridge and enjoyed a perfect day.
