The dam is 400' (122m) high.

I followed the northern canal on a satellite map; it goes through some tunnels on its way to Woodward Reservoir.

Covered Bridge

"Significance: The Knight's Ferry Bridge was built in 1863-64 to replace an 1857 uncovered wooden truss that was destroyed in a flood. This was an important crossing on the heavily traveled Stockton-Sonora Road during the California Gold Rush. The Knight's Ferry Bridge is the longest covered bridge west of the Mississippi River." [HAER_data, my bold text emphasis.]

Doug Chapman posted seven photos with the comment: "During my trip Oregon July 26 2025 I visited the Row River trail bridge near Cottage Grove Oregon. It is a former rail bridge and was used in the 1986 movie Stand By me. In a few photos that is me dressed as Gordie Lachance from the movie."

I labeled the railroad as "rrIndustrial" because it looks like a logging railroad. Note the "Sawmill" where the two branches of the railroad meet.

I found three covered bridges while looking for the truss bridge. And then I noticed that Bridge Hunter lists a lot of covered bridges in this county. So, I'm just noting the one next to this truss bridge.

"At one point alleged to have been built 1812 by James Moore II, father of the founder of nearby Bucknell University, which at the time would have made it the nation's oldest covered bridge, and it was promoted as such on postcards and tourist brochures. Later research in the 1980s proved it to have been built in 1830 instead." [ArchivedBridgeHunter]

Linda says a bridge was built here in 1812, but it was reconstructed in 1830 after it was damaged by a flood in 1828. Note the 1972 flood water line near the top on the left. That was from Hurricane Agnes. Restoration work was done in 1981 using wood from an 1830 school.

A little history about the name of our beautiful Spellacy Covered Bridge 

Spellacy Bridge

The mystery of the name Spellacy had hopes of being a romantic story of a long gone family that lived in the area. A story filled with blood, sweat and tears soaking the soil in the efforts to keep the family and farm thriving.  A story that would lead us to generations of family members that broke ground, fell trees and became a vital part of the areas history. 

But in actuality…….the name arrived in the form of Matthew Spellacy, a railroad contractor, born in 1843 in Ireland who got the contract for that section of the railroad track. 

According to his obituary, Mr Spellacy, who died in  September 1912 at 67 years of age, was a well-known contractor, director and large stockholder of the Driving Park Association, died at his home in Alton Ohio. During his life in Franklin County he managed some of the most important contracting work in the country.  He built the Norfolk and Western, worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad and built the Toledo and Ohio Central Belt Line.  He accumulated much wealth and gave generously to many charities and to individuals among the poor.

This shows the outlet control works on the right and the morning glory spillway in the right foreground.

I hope the morning glory spillway is big enough because I could not find an emergency spillway for this earthen dam.
