LILY DALE OR LAUREL CREEK COVERED BRIDGE
This bridge was built in about 1911. Lewis Miller constructed the stone abutments and Charles Robert Arnott built the superstructure. At 25 feet in length and 13 feet wide it is the smallest covered bridge in the state. It was completely restored in the late 1990’s.
To locate the bridge start on US route 219 in Union, WV and drive south on US 219 3.2 miles to Lily Dale Road 219/7 at Salt Sulphur Springs. Turn right and drive down Lily Dale road for 3 miles where the road forks. Take the right fork, Laurel Creek Road 219/11, and continue for 1.4 miles directly to the bridge over Laurel Creek.
