Knecht’s Mill Covered Bridge

Knecht’s Mill Covered Bridge

Springtown County, Pennsylvania

Nestled in Springtown, Pennsylvania, Knecht’s Mill Covered Bridge has stood since 1873, serving travelers for over 150 years. This historic structure features a Town truss design—a lattice pattern of diagonal planks that was popular for its simplicity and strength.

The bridge remains open to traffic today, offering visitors the authentic experience of driving through a working covered bridge. Its weathered wooden exterior and shaded interior make for striking photographs, especially during autumn when surrounding foliage peaks.

Visiting tips: Arrive early morning for soft lighting and minimal traffic. Capture shots from the creek bank below for the classic covered bridge portrait. The single-lane passage means brief waits—use this time to appreciate the craftsmanship.
