WELCOME to Watson Mill Bridge State Park
Watson Mill Bridge State Park is a 1,018 acre Georgia state park
located near Comer and Carlton on the South Fork of the Broad
River.
The park is named for the Watson Mill Bridge, the longest
original-site covered bridge in Georgia, which spans 229 feet
across the South Fork River.
The bridge, being more than 100 years old, is supported by a town
lattice truss system held firmly together with wooden pins. Georgia
once had over 200 covered bridges, but only 20 now remain.
The park also offers a scenic nature trail and a new hiking/horse
trail that winds through the thick forests and along the river’s
edge.
