    The 1901 Bakers Camp Covered Bridge is a 147-foot Burr Arch bridge across Big Walnut Creek in northern Putnam County, Indiana. The bridge was rehabilitated in 1989 & 2014.

     

    Three of Putnam County’s nine historic covered bridges, the Pine Bluff, Rolling Stone, and Baker’s Camp covered bridges, are within 10 minutes of each other. Pine Bluff is a Howe Truss bridge, 16 feet wide and nearly 14 feet high, built in 1886. Baker’s Camp, built in 1901, is 128 feet long with a 10-foot overhang at each end. Rolling Stone’s name came from a boulder in Big Walnut Creek, which it spans. Built in 1915, it’s the shortest at 13 feet high. It’s a 103-foot-long Burr Arch bridge, with a 10-foot overhang at each end.

     

    Baker's Camp Covered Bridge is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
