Red Oak Creek Covered Bridge

Red Oak Creek Covered Bridge

There aren't many covered bridges left, destroyed during the Civil War, carried away by the rivers…read morethey cross, or perhaps just collapsed due to age over the years. Red Oak Creek is the oldest and longest remaining covered bridge in Georgia so it must be visited while it is still standing (and I hope it does so for many years to come!). The adjacent marker points out that the bridge was built in the 1840s by a freed slave, Horace King (1807-1885). This is his only surviving bridge of this design. The marker points out that it is a Town lattice that consists of planks crisscrossing at 45 to 60 degree angles fastened with wooden pegs. Viewing the construction from inside the bridge, it is no wonder that it is still standing - it would take quite some effort to take it down. The bridge was open to vehicular traffic when I visited in 2022. There are some steel frames on the approach to ensure that oversize vehicles can not get to the bridge and possibly damage it. If you're visiting in an RV or large van, you'll need to park there and walk down. Including the approaches - there is some low water on the east side that also needed to be bridged - it is 391 feet long. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973. There is a parking area with some trash cans on the western side of the bridge. Signage out by the highway points the way to the bridge. [Review 16696 overall - 470 in Georgia - 208 of 2022.]

Very cool bridge made in the 1800s It was put together with…read morewood pegs. A few years back there was flooding from a massive storm, there is a steel plate about 6 feet up on the inside of the bridge just to the right when you inter the bridge, it shows the height of the water table that engulfed the bridge. It's amazing that this bridge survive that. Enjoy the pics.

This beautiful lake 4 decades in the making features an amazing 650 acre lake. We saw a few people…read moreout that said they got a few bites but did not catch any fish. My BF grew up in the area and says this new park/lake has all of the fish that was once housed in Line Creek Parks lake. Long story short it sounds like the two lakes got combined and is now a bigger better lake known as Lake McIntosh. I believe the park opened in July 2013. The entrance that we used is at the end if TDK Blvd and I believe the complex was called Southpark something :-) . It's a 1-2 minutes from the PTC Airport. If you blink you will miss it so be on the lookout. Turn off Joel Cowan Pkwy onto TDK Blvd and get your $10 ready! There is a paved walking trail, restrooms, a gazebo, benches along the trail, a playground for the kids and much more! You can dock your boats here too. Fishing requires a GA Fishing permit. There is a $10 park entrance fee if you are NOT a resident of Fayette County. You can bring your pets as long as they remain leashed and of course you should make sure to clean up after Fido or Kitty! This is PTC so you have the option of jumping in one of the family Golf Carts (Apparently you can rent them as well) or your Automobile to get there. There is parking there for both. Unfortunately, we took the golf cart because I wanted the experience of riding around PTC in a golf cart. Of course, it was a scorcher that day. Now, my Father told me often times that you should learn something new every day of your life. On this day,I learned to ride around PTC in the damn truck when it's 95 + degrees outside! I would have given a 5 Star but I need proof that there are fish up in the spot first and there is NO SWIMMING ALLOWED! ***We visited again in mid December 2015 and were happy to see that the fish are finally ready. We will be back to see how well we do once our boat is done with repairs.

This is still a beautiful park, but in January 2022, you can no longer pay a daily use fee if your…read morenot a local county resident. You must pay an annual fee of $300. I came back to enjoy this beautiful park because it held such great memories for me. It is Labor Day weekend and there were 2 other cars in the parking lot. I left because I didn't want to have to pay a hefty fine if the park ranger came around. It's a shame really. Charge a day use fee, but allow others to enjoy the park as well without having to pay such an exorbitant fee.
