Roaring Camp Bridge was a private covered bridge spanning Elk Creek about 6miles west of Drain in the U.S. state of Oregon.[1] Robert Lancaster built the bridge in 1929 to provide road access to his farm,[2] and other local residents used it as well. Roaring Camp was also the name of a roadhouse near the bridge.
Roaring Camp Bridge, clad with unpainted vertical 1by boards, had ribbon openings along its side walls.[3] The Howe truss bridge, 88feet long, was demolished in 1995.[2] Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, it was delisted after its demolition.[1]
