What to expect on Mosby Creek Covered Bridge – Currin Covered Bridge loop from Cottage Grove
This route offers a delightful journey through the picturesque landscape surrounding Cottage Grove, often called the "Covered Bridge Capital of the West." You'll primarily ride on smoothly paved surfaces, including a significant stretch of the Row River Trail, a traffic-free path built on an old railbed. The scenery constantly changes, from the serene waters of Dorena Lake to lush forests, open farmland, and views of the Cascades' foothills. The highlight, of course, is the collection of historic covered bridges, including the oldest in Lane County, the Mosby Creek Bridge, and the distinctive Currin Bridge. While the ride is predominantly mild, be aware there's an optional "short, but steep climb" over Garoutte Road Hill if you choose to visit the Stewart Covered Bridge; otherwise, the route remains very accessible.

This loop is designed for convenience, offering several amenities along the way. You'll find four bathroom stops, seven parking areas, and three picnic areas, making it easy to take breaks and enjoy the surroundings. The historic downtown of Cottage Grove, a National Register-listed district, also provides coffee shops, restaurants, and a bike shop for pre- or post-ride refreshments. The route is generally accessible, making it a good option for most of the year, though checking local weather is always a good idea.
