Big Rocky Fork Covered Bridge in Parke County, Indiana, near Mansfield, is a historic covered road bridge crossing the creek that shares its name. Built by Indiana bridge builder J. J. Daniels and completed on September 7, 1900, it is a single-span Burr Arch Truss measuring 88 feet long with 8-foot overhangs and resting on hewn limestone foundations. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. After the road was rerouted in 1987, the bridge remained as a preserved historic structure. Local tradition also remembers the area as a hideout associated with John Dillinger.
