The covered bridge on the Calumet Bicycle Trail -- the only
covered bridge in all of Porter County -- will be relocated.
North Porter County Commissioner John Evans said once the
weather allows, the bridge will be moved from the trail site to the Dorothy
Buell Memorial Visitor Center, which is
jointly operated by the Porter County Convention, Recreation and
Visitor Commission and the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. It will be
placed in the area of the center’s stormwater and drainage control system.
The bridge has frequently been the target of vandalism at its
location on the trail in the town of Pines. Evans said the vandalism should
stop once the bridge is placed at the Visitor Center.
