A nice covered bridge with some great craftsmanship. Unfortunately graffiti covers the interior and entrance way.

Nice to see a covered bridge. I know this is a rebuild by craftsmen after the previous bridge was destroyed in a flood. It is constructed as close to original as possible. If only it was not a target for graffiti.

I was really disappointed by all the horrible graffiti that covered the bridge. Sad that such a historic and pretty spot isnt respected. There wasnt a lot of parking but it was a tranquil area.

This lovely bridge has been ruined by graffiti. But is still serves as a reminder of what a covered bridge was like and constructed.

This area is so peaceful. I love to have picnics there. No one bothers you. It is off the beaten path but so worth the drive. They have a beautiful plaque up with the story of the bridge. You are allowed to walk across the bridge which spans the Elkhorn Creek. Popular fishing spot. Always check weather because that area does flood.

Chabby chic. All the graffiti kinda gives it this urban feel. Good for a point B on your Sunday drive.

Switzer Bridge was a cool thing to see. Yes, it was covered in graffiti but even that gave it a special charm of its own. Worth driving hundreds of miles out of your way for? I wouldnt! But as a time killer in the morning for us, 2o mins out of our way- it was perfect!

Glad we went. Its been nicely refurbished although covered in graffiti. The sponsors were clearly much more interested in having their names posted than they were in telling us about the history of the place. Too bad. Id have liked to know more.

Historical beauty defaced. Such a shame, all the vandalism and trash. Looking from afar its beautiful, upon closer look-its a dump.

Great park. The creek here is great for swimming or putting in for a paddle. This is a overlooked stretch of creek to paddle, and great if the levels are a little high.
