The reconstructed Everett Covered Bridge reflects a common historic scene in Ohio. During the 1800s, the state led the nation with over 2,000 covered bridges. Everett Covered Bridge survived until a spring storm destroyed it in 1975. School children, local citizens, private organizations, and government agencies joined hands to secure funds for a historically accurate reconstruction, completed in 1986. Today hikers, horseback riders, environmental education students, and photographers all use the bridge regularly. Once a year, the bridge closes for a contra dance with dancing over the waters of Furnace Run. Nearby trails include the 5.6-mile Riding Run Trail, open to pedestrians and horses. They also include the 1.9-mile Furnace Run Trail, a walking trail popular for viewing spring wildflowers.

Tips
Trillium, bluebells and spring beauty carpet this valley in late April. The covered bridge at the trailhead is the only one left in Summit County.
