Bureau County Red Covered Bridge is north of Princeton, IL and for
almost 150 years has been a landmark for artists, photographers,
nature lovers and picnickers. This 1863 bridge is one of 6
remaining covered bridges in Illinois and is still open to traffic.
It is a nice hike from the parking lot to this cache. Make sure to
record the 4 digit code found inside the cache into your Illinois
River Road geocaching log book and guide.
The Illinois
River Road National Scenic Byway stretches 291 miles along the east

America’s Byways® throughout the U.S. Its six gateway
communities include Ottawa, Princeton, Peoria, Pekin, Canton, and
Havana with several other portal communities along the byway.
