Cavitt Creek Covered Bridge – Logging Bridge Of Douglas County!

Cavitt Creek Covered Bridge, also known as the Little River Covered Bridge, is one of the 17 covered bridges in Douglas County, Oregon. It sits 23 miles east of Roseburg, nestled in an area with multiple scenic places like Cavitt Creek Falls.

The Howe truss bridge spans 70 feet (21 m) across the Little River, about 900 feet (274 m) away from the river's confluence with Cavitt Creek. The bridge carries Cavitt Creek Road over the river, leading to Cavitt Creek County Park. It is open to traffic and has a vehicle limit of 3 tons.

Cavitt Creek Covered Bridge was constructed in 1943 by Douglas County builder Floyd C. Frear. The bridge and the road were both named after Robert L. Cavitt, the first settler of the area who started living by the creek in the early 1880s. Despite its significance, the bridge was not listed in the National Register of Historic Places at the request of Douglas County when Oregon's covered bridges were nominated in 1979.
