We think there’s something special about a covered bridge. In addition to their charm and history, covered bridges in Mississippi are examples of a simpler way of life. Following is an overview of seven known Mississippi covered bridges that are each unique in their own way. While they’re each distinctly different than the other, we think these one-of-a-kind destinations are worth checking out when you’re in The Magnolia State.

1. Covered bridge in Mineral Springs Park

Aside from being home to spring water that has been rated the “best in the United States,” Iuka’s Mineral Springs Park is the site of this picture-perfect covered bridge.
2. Covered bridge in Brookhaven
Facebook/The Hideaway at Reeds Estate
This charming structure is located at The Hideaway at Reed’s Estate - a well-known wedding venue in the area. We think its setting makes it one of the Mississippi covered bridges that's an ideal backdrop for celebrating a special occasion.
3. Covered bridge in Lowndes County
