Standing since 1850, the Forksville Covered Bridge spans Loyalsock Creek in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania. This historic structure features the distinctive Burr arch truss design—a combination of a wooden arch and multiple kingpost trusses that provided exceptional strength for 19th-century bridges.
Current Status: Open to vehicular traffic, allowing visitors to drive through this working piece of American history.
Visiting Tips: The bridge is located in the charming village of Forksville near Worlds End State Park. For the best photographs, arrive during early morning or late afternoon when soft light illuminates the weathered red siding. Autumn offers spectacular foliage backdrops. Park safely off the roadway and watch for passing vehicles when photographing.
