Built in 1925, the 78-foot (24-meter) Chambers Covered Bridge was constructed by a lumberman to transport logs across the river coast. In the 1950s, the railroad faced an unexpected tragedy, rendering it non-functional after increased damages. In December 2006, after the City of Cottage Grove took full ownership of the bridge, the bridge was restored. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this serene covered bridge is a must-visit destination for avid explorers ambling the environs of Cottage Grove.
