Free – $20.00Mingo Creek Covered Bridge Hike
Join Trip Leader Sheri Dutter for a leisurely 3-4 mile hike along the beautiful Mingo Creek Trail. This easy-paced, well-maintained, relatively flat, and paved trail offers a perfect opportunity to enjoy the scenic beauty of Mingo Creek County Park.
Our journey will include stops at two historic covered bridges, the Ebenezer Covered Bridge, originally built to span a different location, this bridge was moved to the park in 1977 to make way for I-70 and the Henry Covered Bridge, constructed in 1841. In addition to the bridges, we’ll also visit the historic Henry House, a brick house built in the early 1800s that was owned by a participant in the Whiskey Rebellion of the late 1700s and occupied until the 1960s.
