truss 49' 11" over a unnamed stream. Located:
On the north
edge of the locality of Bethel, Maine, within the Bethel, Maine, town line
on the 12th hole at The Big Adventure Center miniature
golf course. Directions: In Bethel, Maine, at the jct.
of US 2, SR 4, SR 26 and Parkway, go north on US 2, SR 4 and SR 26 for
0.4 mile crossing a steel-and-concrete bridge to North Road on the left
(West); turn left onto North Road to the Big Adventure Center parking area.
In preparing a focal point for the 18 hole miniature golf course at Big
Adventure Center, its builder, as well as owner of the center, went to
one of his favorite historic covered bridges in the area - the Sunday
River Covered Bridge (WGN 19-09-04).
He took measurements of all the essential elements of the bridge and personally
erected an exact 50% replica of the bridge in every detail, from the scaled-down
trunnels, which are used to provide the essential joinery, to the scaled-down
cedar shakes on its roof. The structure provides the fairway entrance
to the 12th hole of the Big Adventure miniature golf course layout.
