Gilpin's Falls Covered Bridge - Historical landmark in North East - North East Rd, USA

It was difficult to find the trail that led to the waterfalls, but I eventually found it! See photos. There were painted pink rocks that helped guide me to the falls. I was the only one there. It was relaxing. A little difficult of a trek because of the rocks. I would definitely recommend.

We had a great time at the falls. The trails are slightly grown over due to the summer months but still manageable. We went after the rain and the falls were much bigger. My boys were 5 and 8 at the time and had no problems getting around. The misses was even in flip-flops 🤣🤣.. just please leave only your footprints

The directions to the falls take you to a private driveway, so you have to map to get to the covered bridge (which you just pull off on the side of the road for). Since this isn't a maintained area, you have to look for the very narrow trail and walk through thorny bushes and over rocks to get to the falls. It wasn't my favorite experience and not exactly what I was looking for, but it was ok.

Quiet beautiful and good size area to explore and relax

Loved the open lawn for a picnic next to Gilpin’s Falls Covered Bridge. We also walked trails right next to the water. Make sure you have good shoes and be careful when driving off the road into the parking area as some places drop off drastically.

This is a nice example of a well-maintained covered bridge, one of the last covered bridges in Maryland. I was happy to see that it was closed off to vehicle traffic, which should help it last for generations to come.

Great covered bridge to walk around in and get a good look at how it's built since it's not in use for traffic. I love the window in the middle. It gives you the best view of the top of the falls. If you're here be sure to walk to the falls. The hike to the falls and Gilpins Falls are the main attraction here. Best part is you have to cross the bridge to get to the trail from the parking area.

Beautiful old covered bridge (not in use anymore). There's a decent amount of parking, but its pretty close to the main road. The trail is almost impossible to find in some parts, but just stick close to the water and you can't get lost. Unfortunately there's lots of graffiti around and tons of poison ivy. Really pretty spot when you're near the water though.
