Conley's Ford Covered Bridge was built in 1906 and crosses Big Raccoon Creek in Parke County, Indiana. East of Bridgeton, the bridge is a single-span 211-foot Burr Arch Truss structure. J. Lawrence Van Fossen built the Conley's Ford Covered Bridge.

Unlike the other covered bridges in Parke County, Conley's Ford was made of white pine, and not poplar. The bridge also lays claim to being the world's fourth-longest single-span covered bridge.

Length of largest span: 189.9 ft.; Total length: 210.9 ft.; Deck width: 15.4 ft.; Vertical clearance above deck: 12.5 ft.

In 1991, the bridge was re-sided and re-roofed. It also had its "Daniels Portals" converted into "Britton Portals" along with the build date being changed to "1907" from "1906-07". From old photos, it is known that commissioners, auditors, treasurers, and builders were once included on the portals.
