"On the 33-mile Covered Bridge Circuit around Parke County, historic 19th-century covered bridges crossing icy rivers and snow-blanketed meadows create a picturesque winter loop — the route showcases eight bridges in about an hour and a half and is especially photogenic after a snowfall. Parke County is known as the 'Covered Bridge Capital of the World' and the circuit highlights structures such as the McAllister Covered Bridge (built in 1914), the Bridgeton Covered Bridge, and the Roseville Covered Bridge (the longest of the eight)." - Skye Sherman Skye Sherman Skye Sherman is a travel writer based in West Palm Beach, Florida.

"It's a collection of 31 covered bridges in Parke County—self-styled the Covered Bridge Capital of the World—whose opaque wooden sides earned them a romantic 'kissing bridge' reputation perfect for nostalgic, intimate moments." - Cailey Rizzo Cailey Rizzo Cailey Rizzo is a contributing writer for Travel + Leisure.
