## About

Located just north of historic Cedarburg in Ozaukee County, Covered Bridge Park is home to the last remaining authentic covered wooden bridge in the state of Wisconsin. Constructed in 1876 from timber lattice truss work spanning 120 feet over Cedar Creek, the picturesque red bridge provides an unforgettable holiday family photo backdrop. Children can walk through the wooden tunnel, toss pebbles into the clear creek waters, and explore scenic riverside trails lined with weeping willows and towering maples. Families can bring a thermos of hot cocoa and enjoy a holiday picnic at the park's timber shelters.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: The historic bridge deck and main gravel loop paths around the park grounds are flat and easily walked with standard strollers and wagons.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Park pavilion benches and grassy creek banks offer serene spots for nursing and rest, with seasonal park restrooms nearby.
• Age Suitability: All ages, from infants in strollers to school-age kids and grandparents enjoying Wisconsin heritage.
• Sensory Tips: Gentle burbling sounds of Cedar Creek flowing over stone beds and rustic wooden timber textures; exceptionally calm and tranquil country setting.
