The Cataract Falls Covered Bridge is a covered bridge that spans Mill Creek in Lieber State Recreation Area, Owen County, Indiana. Built in 1876 by the Smith Bridge company of Toledo, Ohio,[2] it was at one time one of the most famous and photographed covered bridges in the United States.[3] It is the only remaining one in Owen County.[4][5]
Since the road bypassed the bridge in 1988, it is only open to pedestrians.[4] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1][2]
