Hurricane Shoals Covered Bridge

The Hurricane Shoals Covered Bridge is a covered bridge in Jackson County, Georgia over the North Oconee River.

History

On September 16, 1869, the Jackson County Court of Ordinary ordered that a new bridge be built across the river at Hurricane Shoals. It cost $1,443 to build. On May 31, 1972, vandals burned the bridge. With no one to oversee the area, it became littered with beer bottles, junk cars, and trash. In 1997, Jackson County received a $35,000 grant to help with the reconstruction of the bridge. On September 22, 2022, the bridge was fully rebuilt.
