The Shimanek Covered Bridge was constructed in 1966. It is painted red with white trim and is kept in good repair (from external appearances). It bridges Thomas Creek, which is crossed by Richardson Gap Road. The bridge is pictured looking to the south from the north side of the bridge.
Directions:
- Take HWY 226 east of Scio, OR., just over 2 miles.
