Davis Covered Bridge
Catawissa County, Pennsylvania
Spanning Roaring Creek in Catawissa, Pennsylvania, the Davis Covered Bridge has served travelers since 1850, making it one of Columbia County’s historic treasures. This picturesque structure features the distinctive Burr truss-arch design, a construction method combining wooden arches with traditional truss framing for exceptional strength and longevity.
The bridge remains open to traffic today, carrying vehicles across the creek as it has for over 170 years. Its weathered wooden siding and classic covered design make it a photographer’s delight.
Visiting Tips: Early morning offers the best lighting for photography, with soft light filtering through the portal openings. The surrounding rural Pennsylvania landscape provides beautiful seasonal backdrops, particularly during fall foliage. Drive through slowly to appreciate the interior timber craftsmanship.
