Lula Bridge

Located immediately south of the town of Lula on an abandoned golf course, this bridge has the distinction of being the smallest covered bridge in Georgia and one of the smallest in the United States. This bridge can be seen from Antioch Road, but so can plenty of No Trespassing signs. Because it is located on private property, a visit is not recommended despite the rather welcoming picnic tables and sign posted on the bridge.

This bridge was in service until 1969,when a nearby concrete bridge was built on the road's present alignment. In 1975, the bridge was taken apart and completely rebuilt on the banks before being lifted by a crane and placed back on its original foundations.

This bridge is often referred to as the Blind Susie Bridge. According to a local historian, however, that bridge was located on the other side of Banks County. Though it has since fallen, remnants can still be seen in the creek. The real Blind Susie was a colorful woman who sat on her porch selling jars of moonshine that she hid under her skirts
