Lowes Bridge is a covered bridge in Piscataquis County, Maine, described in its record as bridge in Maine, US. Maine has 14 covered bridges on record at Wayfarrow.

It was built in 1990, in the postwar decades, making it the 11th oldest of the 11 in Maine with a recorded construction date; it crosses Piscataquis River.

Status check, 2026-11: A flood washed away the 1857 bridge on April 1, 1987; the current bridge is a modern copy of the original, still a covered bridge, built in 1990 on the original abutments, which were raised almost 3 ft. Its total length is left null because sources disagree (120, 130, 146 or 153 ft). It stands at 45.1750° N, 69.3151° W.
