Cogan House Covered Bridge
Cogan House County, Pennsylvania
Built in 1877, the Cogan House Covered Bridge spans Larry’s Creek in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. This historic structure features a Burr arch truss design, combining wooden arches with multiple kingpost trusses for exceptional strength—a construction method popular in 19th-century Pennsylvania.
The bridge remains open to traffic, serving local residents while attracting history enthusiasts and photographers. Its weathered wooden exterior and pastoral setting make it particularly photogenic during autumn foliage season.
Visiting Tips: Arrive early morning for soft lighting and minimal traffic. The surrounding countryside offers scenic views, so bring a wide-angle lens to capture the bridge within its landscape. Parking is limited; pull fully off the roadway. Respect private property near the bridge approaches.
