The Josiah Hess Covered Bridge, built in 1875, spans Huntington Creek near Forks, Pennsylvania. This historic structure features a Burr truss-arch design, a construction method combining wooden trusses with supporting arches that was popular throughout Pennsylvania’s covered bridge era.

Named after a local landowner, the bridge has served the community for nearly 150 years. It remains open to traffic today, allowing visitors to drive through and experience its timber-framed interior firsthand.

Visiting Tips: Early morning offers soft light ideal for photography, with fewer vehicles passing through. Park safely off-road and capture shots from the creek banks for the classic covered bridge perspective. The fall foliage season provides stunning backdrops against the weathered wooden exterior.
