Roaring Camp Bridge

Roaring Camp Bridge was a private covered bridge over Elk Creek about 6 miles west of Drain, Oregon. Built in 1929 by Robert Lancaster, it provided road access to his farm and also served nearby residents. Its name came from a roadhouse near the crossing. The structure was an 88-foot Howe truss covered with unpainted vertical boards and lined with ribbon openings along its side walls. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 as part of Oregon’s covered-bridge heritage, but the bridge was demolished in 1995 and was later removed from the register.
