Historic Narrows Covered Bridge — Attraction in Wallace

Kayaking: Dropped in here and took out at Jackson Bridge (see my review there). To launch, you must enter Turkey Run State Park and walk a bit to get to the creek. Probably a couple hundred feet. It wasn’t a big deal for us, but does require you to carry your vessels downhill down a dirt path with some exposed tree roots.

Under the bridge is an excellent place to see the area from a diffent view. Don't jump in the water, as it's not allowed, and...

Whereas the covered bridge was quite nice and the surrounding area picturesque, the bridge is out in the country with zero parking.... And stairs that lead down to it from the road.... With no parking signs scattered everywhere.... No place nearby to park either.... Seems to be a rather large gap for such an epic monument in the middle of the country that unless you're a local or canoeing down the river would be...
