Knights Ferry, California

Knights Ferry grew up around a ferry crossing on the Stanislaus River during the Gold Rush, and its 1863 covered bridge, a National Historic Landmark, is the longest in the United States at about 330 feet and still carries cars. The ruins of an 1860s grist mill stand beside it, and an Army Corps of Engineers visitor center tells the town's story.
Free to see; parking near the bridge fills up on weekends.
