Welcome to McKee Bridge, located in the beautiful Upper Applegate Valley. Come visit the cool interior of the covered bridge on a hot summer day. In winter watch the moody river below. Listen to the echoes of time. Oregon once had over 600 covered bridges; only around 50 survive (at least in a reasonably original condition). Built in 1917, McKee Bridge is tied as the oldest surviving covered bridge in Oregon. It is further distinguished as the longest, spanning 122 feet, as well as the highest, rising 45 feet above the Applegate River.  

Volunteers decorate the bridge, adjoining Depression-era community kitchen, and Star Ranger Station for the holiday season. The sites are illuminated 24/7 and Christmas On A Covered Bridge is celebrated two Saturdays before Christmas Day with a mega bake sale, gift shopping, free hot beverages and Santa and Mrs. Claus.
