If you go past Elko Lake on the right, about a 3/4 mile down on the left is Conklin Hill Rd is a seasonal road that leads down to a (now closed) covered bridge. It's probably about 20 minutes down and 30 back. All downhill on the way there, all uphill back. But a nice and easy walk for the most part in nice shady woods. Lots of sounds of running water around.
