A popular swimming hole in the summer, this site is home to the Old Drift Creek Covered Bridge. Having fallen in to disrepair the bridge was closed to even foot traffic in 1988. It was later auctioned off for $1.00 by the county with the one provision.....you had to move it. One local family did just that raising the money to dismantle, retrofit and relocate the bridge to span Bear Creek, a tributary to the Salmon River to the northeast about 1o miles as the crow flies. The new site of the Drift Creek Bridge welcomes visitors as it stretches to the Sweitz families home on the far side of the creek.
