Geocache Description:

This should be an easy Park-&-Grab cache, except during the annual Covered Bridge Festival in October.


Olin's Bridge, or Olin Bridge, or Olin-Dewey Road Bridge is a Covered Bridge that carries Dewey Road over the Ashtabula River in Plymouth Township, Ashtabula County, Ohio. The bridge, one of currently 17 drivable bridges in the county, is a single span Town truss design, and is currently the only bridge in the county named for a family. The Olin family has owned property next to the bridge since it was built. Members of the Olin family also operate a small museum and gift shop just east of the bridge at the house previously owned by Joyce Grandbouche. The bridge's WGCB number is 35-04-03, and it is located approximately 3.6 mi (5.7 km) east of Ashtabula.

Ashtabula County also features:

  • Graham Road Covered Bridge which has been offset from the roadway and converted into a County Metro Park.
  • Smolen_Gulf Covered Bridge which is the longest (613 feet) and highest off the water (92 feet, 10 inches) covered bridge in the United States.
  • Riverview Bridge, a pedestrian version of the Smolen-Gulf Covered Bridge located in the Indian Trails Park below the big bridge.
  • Liberty Street Covered Bridge which is the shortest covered bridge (measuring just 18 feet) in the United States (located in Geneva, Ohio).
  • Two unique Pizza Parlors that were constructed from the former Forman Road Covered Bridge after it was sold at auction for $5 and carefully disassembled.. One is located in Andover, and the other is located in North Kingsville
