    The 1922 Antelope Creek Bridge, also known as Bridge 202, is a wooden covered bridge, 58 feet (18 m) long, spanning Little Butte Creek in Eagle Point in Jackson County, Oregon. Built by brothers Wes and Lyle Hartman, it originally spanned Antelope Creek, a tributary of Little Butte Creek, which it enters about 2 miles (3 km) downstream of Eagle Point, north of Medford. According to Oregon's Covered Bridges, at its original location the bridge carried "the old Medford – Crater Lake Road" over Antelope Creek.

     

    After a newer span replaced the bridge at its original location, it was no longer used by vehicles and deteriorated noticeably. Even so, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1979.

     

    In August 1987, to save the bridge, it was loaded onto a makeshift trailer, and volunteers reassembled it over Little Butte Creek in Eagle Point. Since then, it has served as a pedestrian bridge in Covered Bridge Park, adjacent to the veterans' memorial.

     

    In 1988, after its move to Eagle Point, the bridge was temporarily delisted because restoration work had created side windows that were not part of the original. In 2012, after the correction of those alterations, the bridge was re-added to the NRHP.

     

    Notable features of the bridge include its queen post modified by the addition of a kingpost, its ribbon openings under the eaves, and its cantilevered buttresses. The bridge has a cedar roof, semi-circular portals, and board siding without battens.
