“water under the bridge”
Constructed in 1909 Campbell’s Covered Bridge is the only remaining covered bridge in the State of South Carolina. The 38 foot long, 12 foot wide pine structure that spans Beaverdam Creek was built by Charles Irwin Willis. Locals believe that the bridge was named for Lafayette Campbell, who at the time of the bridge’s construction owned 194 acres in the immediate area. The bridge and surrounding acreage is presently owned by Greenville County and has been transformed into a passive park where visitors can picnic, explore the foundations of the old grist mill and home site, wet their feet on a hot summer day in Beaverdam Creek, and learn about the area through interpretive signage.
Reviews
We loved this old bridge. A shallow creek to wade in was a great stop for the family. We love these old timey things we don't get out west and this was one of the best.
Beautiful stop off the beaten path of an old bridge, picnic tables and paths to hike/bike as well.
Nice Place to stop by.
