Cambron Covered Bridge in Green Mountain Park, near Huntsville, Alabama

A bridge from Alabama

Framed here for the season by fall foliage, the Cambron Covered Bridge is located along a nature trail in Green Mountain Park in Madison County, Alabama. It's believed there were once about 14,000 covered bridges in the U.S., but fewer than 900 or so remain today, a quarter of which can be found in Pennsylvania. But Alabama has covered-bridge bragging rights, too. This American state has 11 historic covered bridges. Built in 1974, the Cambron Covered Bridge doesn't make the official 'historic' list, but it does offer hikers a peaceful passageway with great views of Sky Lake.
