It's one of the only two remaining covered bridges in the state and holds a significant place in North Carolina's architectural and cultural history. The bridge was originally built in 1911 for a cost of $40, a small sum even for those times but a testament to the practical and economical construction techniques of the era. Spanning the West Fork Branch of the Little River, the bridge served local communities for many years before falling into disrepair. It has since been restored and is now a popular spot for photography, picnics, and even weddings. Its serene setting amidst the forest makes it an idyllic and tranquil place to visit, and it's often included in local and regional historical tours. The structure itself is a classic example of traditional wooden covered bridge architecture. Its covering helps to protect the wooden trusses from the elements, thereby extending the lifespan of the bridge. Even though it is no longer used for vehicular traffic, it remains an enduring symbol of a bygone era. Visitors to the Pisgah Covered Bridge can take advantage of its proximity to the Uwharrie National Forest to explore other outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and bird-watching. It's a great addition to any trip to the Asheboro area, providing both a touch of history and natural beauty.
