Rock Mill Bridge was originally built in 1849 in Queenpost style, a second bridge was built in 1880 and the current span in 1904 with many repairs due to damage by trucks. It crosses the upper falls 30 feet above the Hocking River's origin. It is the smallest covered bridge in Fairfield County being only 33' in length. A grant has been received to turn the bridge and the area around it into a park with construction beginning sometime in 2002.
