Larwood Covered Bridge
Larwood Covered Bridge was built in 1939. It is named after William Larwood who settled in the area during 1888.
The bridge is listed on the National Historical Register, but believe it or not, the bridge is famous for something else. The Roaring River and Crabtree Creek merge under the bridge. This unique fact earned Larwood a spot on Ripley’s Believe It or Not. It is the only place a river dumps into a creek.
Larwood’s open sides and nearby foliage make the bridge perfect for photography. I left my Nikon 18 - 55 mm with a Sunpak +4. The lens and filter are ideal for close ups. The water and river rocks would be unique subjects to zoom in and experiment.
Most articles on Larwood encourage visitors to picnic. In Alaska, commercial fishers say “mug up” when calling for a coffee break. My perspective is that Larwood needs to add Mug Up to their vistors. Fill a Stanley thermos with your favorite Joe, pack a breakfast treat and be at Larwood just as the sun says “good morning.”
