Nice quick stop. The park is beautiful with a nice lake. The covered bridge was very historic. The city should not allow the graffiti inside of the bridge.

Oldest Covered Bridge in AL - An Easy/Quick Interstate Stop
Coldwater Covered Bridge is the oldest covered bridge in Alabama. It has been moved to a pretty park that's just off I-20 in Oxford, AL. A pretty, relatively short bridge, which you can walk across - offering a nice opportunity to check out the bridge's architecture. If you're traveling I-20, it's a great quick stop. It would be a beautiful picnic location or just a nice opportunity to stretch your legs. (There is no charge.) If you're a fan of covered bridges, Coldwater Covered Bridge is a great jumping off point for a small covered bridge tour through central Alabama. After visiting Coldwater Bridge, you can head south on AL-21 to Waldo/Riddle's Mill Covered Bridge, about 25 minutes south. Then over to Kymulga Covered Bridge. Directions: Exit 185 off I-20 onto State Highway 21 North (Oxford/Anniston exit) and take the immediate right onto Recreational Drive. Follow the drive around to the Oxford Civic Center Parking lot and you will see the park and bridge. A very short, easy walk to the bridge.
