North Branch of Pigeon Creek.

Interesting Fact: Many people associate covered bridges only with
New England and a very few other States. Interestingly, there is at
least one covered bridge still standing in 30 States. Pennsylvania
has, by far, the most, with 227 surviving examples. This is
followed by Ohio, with 143; Vermont, with 100; and Indiana, with
93.
