Packsaddle Bridge is a historic covered bridge located in Glen Savage, Pennsylvania, built in 1870. This charming structure features a classic kingpost truss design, one of the simplest and oldest truss configurations used in covered bridge construction.

Current Status: The bridge remains open to traffic, allowing visitors to experience the authentic sensation of driving through a 19th-century covered bridge.

Visiting Tips: For the best photographs, arrive during golden hour when warm light filters through the bridge’s wooden slats. Position yourself upstream or downstream for classic compositions that capture the bridge spanning the waterway. Autumn offers spectacular foliage backdrops. Since the bridge is active, watch for vehicles when photographing from the roadway.
