Clarkson-Legg Covered Bridge

Also known as Clarkson Covered Bridge or Legg Bridge, it spans Crooked Creek. Originally constructed in 1904, it served farmers and travelers. A devastating flood in 1921 destroyed the bridge (some sources state a storm in 1921 or a flood in 1931, but 1921 flood is more consistently cited). It was rebuilt the following year, in 1922, using salvaged materials. The Cullman County Commission restored the bridge in 1975 as an American Revolution Bicentennial Project. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 25, 1974. The bridge features a lattice truss design and is 270 feet in length. It is currently the centerpiece of a park that includes hiking trails, a picnic area, a period Dogtrot log cabin, and a working grist mill. The park hosts an annual "Old Fashioned Days" event. It is the second longest historic covered bridge in Alabama and the third longest overall in the state.
