The Indian Creek Covered Bridge is a bridge in Monroe County, West Virginia, U.S.A., near US 219, about 4 miles away from Salt Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. It is owned by the county's Historical Society, and was originally built in 1898 by Ray and Oscar Weikel. The bridge is 11.5 feet long and 49.25 feet wide, costing Monroe County $400.
