The Covered Bridge Cruise
A Fort Wayne to Spencerville Ride You Won't Forget (On a Strictly 2 Motorsports Rental!)
Here at Strictly 2 Motorsports in Fort Wayne, we believe that every ride should be an adventure. And sometimes, the best adventures are just a short, scenic cruise away. That's exactly what you'll find when you set out from our shop for a journey to the historic Spencerville Covered Bridge. It's a perfect day trip that combines the thrill of the open road with a touch of local history and breathtaking scenery.
The Route: Backroads, Beauty, and Pure Riding Pleasure
Forget the highways for this one. The beauty of the ride to Spencerville lies in the journey itself, taking you off the beaten path and onto the winding country roads that make Northeast Indiana a rider's paradise.
Starting from our Fort Wayne location, you'll quickly find yourself immersed in the serene rural landscape. The route unfolds with gentle curves, rolling farmlands, and stretches of tree-lined roads that provide that quintessential "wind in your hair" experience. You'll pass through charming small towns, where the pace of life slows down and the air feels fresher. It's an ideal ride for those looking to unwind, clear their heads, and simply enjoy the sensation of two wheels on the blacktop.
While there are various ways to get there, we recommend taking your time and exploring the county roads. Consider a route that takes you north out of Fort Wayne, perhaps via Maysville Road or through Leo-Cedarville, before heading east towards Spencerville. These routes often offer the most picturesque views and the least traffic, allowing you to truly soak in the ride.
The Destination: Spencerville Covered Bridge – A Historic Gem
As you approach Spencerville, a true landmark awaits: the Spencerville Covered Bridge. Built in 1873 by John A. McKay, this remarkable structure spans the St. Joseph River and is a proud example of a Smith Type 4 truss bridge. It's not just a bridge; it's a piece of Indiana's heritage, having been listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.
What makes this bridge so special? Beyond its age and impressive craftsmanship, it's the last remaining covered bridge in DeKalb County. Stepping (or riding!) through its wooden timbers is like stepping back in time. The soft light filtering through the gaps in the siding, the creak of the wood – it's an experience that connects you to generations past.
The area around the bridge is equally inviting. There's often a small park nearby, perfect for stretching your legs, taking some photos, and simply enjoying the peaceful ambiance of the St. Joseph River flowing beneath. Imagine pulling up on your rental motorcycle, the chrome glinting in the sun, and capturing that perfect shot with this historic backdrop!
