Oakalla Covered Bridge

Another of the Burr Arch bridges built by J.J. Daniels in the late 1800s, the Oakalla Bridge spans Big Walnut Creek and takes its name from the Oakalla Station along the old Big Four Railroad. A quick trip outside of downtown, the Oakalla Bridge is also just down the road from 3 Fat Labs Resort, a wedding destination venue tucked into the wooded countryside.
