This 259 foot long, double span Howe truss bridge, Hamilton County's only remaining covered bridge, crosses the west fork of the White River and was built in 1871 by Josiah Durfee of Noblesville for $13,000. It connects the land called "Potter's Ford," named for William A. Potter (1838-1883) who owned and farmed the surrounding land. The bridge was first restored in 1937 and the road eventually bypassed it in 1971. The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 and in 1999 Potter's Bridge Park was opened.

The bridge is the centerpiece of a beautiful site that includes a picnic area, playground, multi-use trails, canoe access, and modern restroom facilities. The renovations included a sprinkler system, only the second bridge in Indiana equipped with one. Potter's Bridge Park is located on Allisonville Road, north of Noblesville in Hamilton County.
