Euharlee Creek Covered Bridge MarkerThe bridge is located adjacent to the ruins of an old mill once owned and operated by Daniel Lowry who owned most of the land around the bridge and also allowed the builders to use rock from his land to build the piers of the bridge after high water swept a previous, lower bridge away.

According to Thomas and Edward French in Covered Bridges of Georgia "He also helped to rebuild the wooden structure. Due to the fact the bridge was swept from its foundation and perhaps came to rest against the mill's south wall, it may have been salvaged. This could account for the numbering of the web members of the town lattice trusses."

According to the North Georgia Journal a previous bridge collapsed causing the death of a local man, Mr. Nelson, a mule and a horse. His two young sons emerged from the disaster unscathed.

Euralee Creek Covered BridgeThis led to the eventual construction of the present, much sturdier bridge by W.W. King (with perhaps some help from his father though Horace was ill atthe time). The maker's mark is shown at left. This numbering scheme made assembly of the final parts easier.

Directions from Atlanta: Go I-75N to Exit 288. Go south on GA 113 about 4.5 miles, then right on Euharlee Road. Go 5.5 miles on Euharlee Road, then turn left onto Covered Bridge Road.
