Located in McSherrystown, Pennsylvania, the Conewago Chapel Covered Bridge has spanned Conewago Creek since 1899. This historic structure features a Burr arch truss design—a combination of a wooden arch and multiple kingpost truss that was popular throughout Pennsylvania’s covered bridge building era.

The bridge remains open to traffic, allowing visitors to drive through and experience its wooden interior firsthand. The weathered red siding and rural Adams County setting make it a favorite among photographers.

Visiting Tips: Arrive early morning for soft lighting and minimal traffic. Park safely off the roadway when photographing. The nearby Conewago Chapel, one of the oldest Catholic churches in the region, pairs well with a bridge visit. Best photographed in autumn when surrounding foliage peaks.
