Lake Creek Covered Bridge

Nestled in lush, dense forest the Lake Creek Covered Bridge is also known as Nelson Mountain Bridge. Pass through this charming bridge on the way to Triangle Lake, a popular destination for water skiing, boating, fishing and swimming. Locals gather at the slippery rock slides at Lake Creek, a natural series of small waterfalls. 

Lake Creek Bridge is part of a triad of covered bridges hugging the coastal range.
