Sisters (Whycus Creek) Bridge

The Sisters, Oregon walk-through covered bridge is located on the outskirts of town in the Sisters Creekside Campground (Formerly called the Three Sisters Overnight Park). It's at the intersection of Hwy 20 and Hwy 126.

It's not "authentic" because it doesn't use a wooden truss for load bearing support. Instead it uses long rustic Ponderosa pine logs for an appealing and quite unique load bearing support to its 40' span.

This bridge is listed as spanning Squaw Creek in the World Guide, but that may not be correct.
