With over 1,000 feet of waterfront and six acres, Covered Bridge Farm provides an idyllic setting, boasting picturesque views of the iconic Langley Covered Bridge and St. Joseph River. In 2017, the 1870 Barn was renovated and now is a perfect venue for hosting a variety of events. Modern bathroom facilities, a pavilion, river walk and non-motorized boat launch makes Covered Bridge Farm fantastic for picnics, fishing, paddling, or even a wedding.
