Knapp’s Covered Bridge, located in Burlington, Pennsylvania, is a historic wooden crossing built in 1853. This charming structure features a Burr truss design—a combination of arch and multiple kingpost construction that was popular throughout Pennsylvania during the mid-19th century.

The bridge remains open to traffic, allowing visitors to experience the authentic rumble of crossing through its weathered timber interior. The enclosed design protected the wooden structure from harsh weather, contributing to its remarkable 170+ year survival.

Visiting Tips: Early morning offers the best photography light, with soft illumination filtering through the portal entrances. Visit during fall for stunning foliage framing the rustic red exterior. Pull safely off-road before photographing, as the bridge accommodates vehicles.
