Cavitt Creek Bridge is a covered bridge in Douglas County in the U.S. state of Oregon.[1] Built by Floyd C. Frear in 1943, it carries Cavitt Creek Road over the Little River[2] about 20 miles (32 km) east of Roseburg.[3] Cavitt Creek and the road and bridge were named for Robert L. Cavitt, who settled along the creek in the mid-19th century.[3]
Cavitt Creek, a tributary of the Little River, enters the river upstream of the bridge.[4] Cavitt Creek Road, after crossing Jim Creek, another Little River tributary,[4] intersects Little River Road at the north end of the bridge.[1] The bridge is a little more than a mile upstream of the small community of Peel and 7 miles (11 km) upstream of the Little River's confluence with the North Umpqua River near Glide.[4]
