Clarkson Covered Bridge, an iconic landmark in Cullman, Alabama, was originally constructed in 1904 and served as a vital crossing for farmers and travelers over Crooked Creek. Now a closed structure, the bridge is the focal point of a historically themed park that highlights its significance, featuring hiking trails, picnic areas, and period structures like a Dogtrot log cabin and a working grist mill.

Designated as a part of the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, Clarkson Covered Bridge has become a popular venue for various events, including weddings and car shows. The park, restored in 1975 with community support, offers visitors a glimpse into the region's rich history while providing a picturesque setting for outdoor activities.
