A beautiful spot for a hike, the bridge is perched on the top of Husatonic river rapids and allows you to see white water stream right from its three windows on each side. Also it is surrounded by a picturesque preserve, which is a part of Appalachian Trail. On a nice weather day rafting lovers will challenge the rapids and you would watch them going down the river from the Bridge. The downside is, that the preserve is rather small and can be very crowded. We know the place very well, and go there all year around
Beautiful spot for a quick visit.. there is a small parking lot by the bridge. Park an carefully walk through the bridge( there isn’t pedestrian lane, and cars drive through when ur in it!) on the other side of the bridge from the parking lot, there are trails that lead to the water Dam… and a great exterior view of the bridge! Love it!
Nature trails around the bridge are the main attraction, wish I had more time to explore section of Appalachian trail. Views on Housatonic river from observation deck (accessible via short trail from parking lot) are very impressive.
Nice place for hiking or walking along the river. Parking area is very limited a specially on the weekend.
Really cool covered bridge. You can drive through it and there are places to park so you may take pictures. The surrounding area hosts trails.
I was passing through the area the other day and came across this bridge. I will be coming back in the semi-near future to explore the trails, but I did take a moment to go to the observation platform to take in the view of the merging rivers. If you arrive here via route 7, there is parking before you cross the bridge. Yes, you can drive across it, but there is no parking on that side of the bridge. The no parking side is where you need to go to take a short walk out to the observation platform where you can see the two rivers merge. I will update after my return visit at which point, I will hike the woods. This place is a real beauty! More to come in the future... Side note: Someone from the area told me legend has it that George Washington crossed that bridge... I cannot confirm or deny this. Update (June 2021); We finally made it to the area to explore a little. There is a scenic trail that runs along the Hudson River. There is a little area down low that goes to the river's edge. The area is nice. When there on the weekend, there is much more traffic and it is important to alternate traffic crossing the bridge, however, while we were there, several times, vehicles with New York license plates would follow the vehicle in front of them, doubling up and being totally rude to the people waiting patiently on the other side. Please be considerate and not scummy... Most people are decent, but the Bad Apples really do spoil the bunch.
Pretty little covered bridge with a hiking trail nearby and a beautiful view of the river with water flowing over large round rocks. The hiking trail follows the river and is part of the Appalachian Trail. I've included some of the hike as well!
Parking is a bit hard, just sit and wait in the lot for a spot. Beautiful waterfall to explore. Right when you step on the path there are a few stairs to help you get down to the water area. You can walk inside the bridge on the sides.
