This historic covered bridge in Intercourse, Pennsylvania, was built in 1893 and features traditional Burr arch truss construction—a design combining an arch with a multiple kingpost truss for exceptional strength. The bridge remains open to traffic, allowing visitors to experience crossing an authentic 19th-century covered bridge.
Visiting Tips: The bridge is accessible year-round and makes an excellent stop when exploring Lancaster County’s Amish Country. For photography, early morning or late afternoon light creates warm tones against the weathered red siding. Position yourself along the creek bank for classic compositions showing the bridge’s reflection in the water. Autumn foliage provides particularly striking backdrops. Respect private property boundaries when exploring the surrounding area.
