Known as one of the most picturesque state parks in Georgia, Watson Mill
Bridge contains the longest original-site covered bridge in the state,
spanning 229 feet across the South Fork River. Built in 1885, the bridge
is supported by a town lattice truss system held firmly together with
wooden pins. At one time, Georgia had more than 200 covered bridges;
today, less than 20 remain. The park is an ideal spot for an afternoon
picnic or an overnight stay at the campground. Hiking, biking and
horseback riding trails allow visitors to enjoy the thick forest along
the river or travel into the park’s backcountry. During summer, visitors
often play in the cool river shoals just below the bridge.
