About this property
The Antelope Creek Bridge is a wooden covered bridge, 58 feet (18 m) long, spanning Little Butte Creek in Eagle Point in the U.S. state of Oregon. Constructed in 1922 by brothers Wes and Lyle Hartman, it originally spanned Antelope Creek, north of Medford. Antelope Creek is a tributary of Little Butte Creek, which it enters about 2 miles (3 km) downstream of Eagle Point. According to Oregon's Covered Bridges , at its original location the bridge carried "the old Medford – Crater Lake Road" over Antelope Creek. After a newer span replaced the bridge at its original location, it was no longer used by vehicles, and it deteriorated.
