The Carmichaels in one of the seven covered bridges that remains standing within the boundaries of Greene County. It was built in 1889 and restored by the county in 1987 and spans Muddy Creek. It is covered with white vertical board and batten siding on both sides and portals, has a roof of sheet metal, covered with raised seam tin, and a deck of lengthwise planking in the tire track are laid over crosswise planking. It rests on cut stone-and-mortar abutments that are extended to road-level wingwalls. One of these abutments has been reinforces with concrete. The queenpost truss is reinforced with additional diagonal timbers, but there is no evidence of additional steel reinforcement. The Carmichaels Bridge is still open to vehicular traffic and is part of the annual Covered Bridge Festival
