Swann Covered Bridge
Spanning Locust Fork just west of Cleveland, Swann Covered Bridge is the longest surviving covered bridge in Alabama—an iconic stop for scenic drivers, outdoor lovers, and families exploring Blount County’s backroads. Built in 1933, the bridge still carries traffic, but it’s worth slowing down to appreciate the craftsmanship and river views. Snap photos, enjoy the peaceful setting, and let the detour reset your pace. Continue your loop to Easley and Horton Mill for a trio of stops that make a day trip feel unexpected.
