POTD - Lake of the Woods [around town]

We are fortunate to have several nature preserves and parks close by. The Lake of the Woods covers almost 900 acres of land along the Sangamon River. I happened to be close by Tuesday evening, and sought out the covered bridge that I had seen in various photographs.
The covered bridge was built in 1965 and renovated in 1996. It is a popular backdrop for family and formal pictures (another woman was photographing her three children sitting in the bridge's "windows" while I was taking my pictures):

Hopefully, I'll be able to drag my kids out there for a photo shoot sometime soon.
