Beavertown, Pennsylvania

Built in 1870, Dreese’s Covered Bridge spans a waterway near Beavertown in Snyder County. This historic structure features the classic Burr arch truss design—a combination of wooden arch and multiple kingpost construction that defined Pennsylvania bridge-building in the 19th century.

Status: Open to traffic (single lane; yield to oncoming vehicles)

Visiting Tips: The bridge photographs beautifully in autumn when surrounding foliage creates a striking backdrop. Early morning light offers soft, even illumination through the portal openings. Park safely off the roadway and watch for traffic when walking near the bridge. The weathered red siding and white portal trim make this an excellent subject for capturing Pennsylvania’s covered bridge heritage.
