A one-of-kind passive park, Poole's Mill is 10 acres of property that showcases a unique covered bridge. The Bridge, built in 1901, spans the shoals of Settendown Creek. After periods of disrepair, the structure was converted from private ownership and dedicated as a county park in 1997. The park, on the National Historic Registry, offers residents the opportunity to picnic, walk and reminisce about the history of a bygone era




A short walk through a playground leads you to the bridge. I was sadly disappointed to see the bridge covered in graffiti. Almost every square inch is just covered. After walking through the bridge you come to a short path into a waterfall. There are still more families. It is really crowded. If you like desecrated history and screaming children this park is for you. For those of us who like history and quiet walks this place is not worth the drive.
