Horton Mill Covered Bridge
One of the highest covered bridges in the country, Horton Mill Covered Bridge rises above the Calvert Prong near Oneonta. Built in the 1930s, this landmark is a must for history buffs, scenic-drive explorers, and anyone chasing an “only in Alabama” photo. Pull off Highway 75, stroll across the bridge on foot, and take in the wooded river gorge below. It’s a quick, memorable detour that pairs perfectly with Easley and Swann—three bridges, one easy Blount County adventure. Bring water, watch for wildlife, linger.
