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
