Chickamauga Creek
Highway 255 N Sautee GA 30571 United States of America
Chickamauga Creek: This is a great place to jump in the Creek or just take some super photo’s. To get there from Hwy 17 & Hwy 255 (Sautee Junction) - take Hwy 255 to the parking area on the right just past Skylake Road. It is on Hwy 255 in Sautee. Stovall Covered Bridge is the furthest north of all north Georgia covered bridges and is located east of the popular tourist town of Helen, Georgia in the Nachoochee Valley. It spans one of two Chickamauga Creeks in north Georgia (the other Chickamauga Creek, in northwest Georgia, gives it name to bloodiest two days in American history, the battle of Chickamauga). Of queenspost truss design, the bridge has a variety of names including the Helen Bridge, Sautee Bridge, Nacoochee Bridge and Chickamauga Bridge. White County has built a small parking area and park near the structure. Fred Dover built the structure, then sold it and his grist mill to Fred Stovall, Jr. The bridge served as a link on the Cleveland to Clayton Road, which ran through the Sautee-Nachoochee Valley and was featured in the movie I’d Climb the Highest Mountain starring Rory Calhoun, William Lundigan and Susan Haywood. www.dot.state.ga.us/specialsubjects/specialinterest/covered/stovall.shtml
