Park Features
Mink Hollow Covered Bridge
The main feature of this park is this beautiful ‘house bridge’. It was built in 1887 by Jacob R “Blue Jeans” Brandt using the multiple kingpost truss with a central X brace, is 54′ long plus 7′ overhangs at each end and sits over Arney Run (creek).
The bridge is located, not in Mink Hollow, but about five miles away in Oil Mill Hollow. To more accurately reflect its location the name was changed to what is the longest official name of any bridge in the US: Mink Hollow over Arney Run in Oil Mill Hollow near the Borcher’s Mill Covered Bridge.
