Horse Creek Bridge was a covered bridge near McKenzie Bridge, Oregon, built in 1930 to carry Horse Creek Road over Horse Creek, a tributary of the McKenzie River. The 105-foot Howe truss span featured ribbon openings at the eaves, rectangular arched portals, and an eye-level side window to help travelers see oncoming traffic. It served road traffic until 1968, when a concrete bridge replaced it, and then remained a pedestrian crossing for nearly twenty years. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, it was dismantled in 1987. Its timbers were later reused in covered bridge projects in Cottage Grove and Myrtle Creek.
