It is located on Jack's Creek Road (SR 615) off State Route 8 just south of the community of Woolwine, about 11 miles (18 kilometers) north of Stuart. Coordinates are {{coord|36|45|51.14|N|80|16|23.98|W|type:city}} (36.764206, -80.273328). Built in 1914 (some sources say 1916), the 48-foot (15-meter) bridge is a Queen-post truss construction over a single span. Its WGCB number is 46-68-02. The Jack's Creek Covered Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 1973. It is the only historic covered bridge remaining in Patrick County, maintained by the Patrick County government. HistoryThe Jack's Creek Covered Bridge was designed by Walter G. Weaver of Woolwine and constructed in 1914 by Charlie Elam Vaughn of Buffalo Ridge, made of oak, built to serve Jack's Creek Primitive Baptist Church for which the bridge was named. It should be noted that Vaughn's great, great grandfather fought in the Revolutionary War. A steel-beam bridge replaced it in 1932. The Jack's Creek Covered Bridge was widened and received a new roof in 1969, followed by a full restoration by the Virginia Department of Highways in 1974, at a cost of approximately $4,550.00. Every June, the bridge is the site of the Patrick County Covered Bridge Festival. On September 29, 2015, major flooding on the Smith River caused by days of heavy rain destroyed the nearby Bob White Covered Bridge.[3] Jack's Creek Covered Bridge was able to survive the deluge.
