Snyder Covered Bridge No. 17

Standing since 1860, Snyder Covered Bridge No. 17 is a historic queen post truss bridge located in Slabtown, Pennsylvania. This well-preserved structure showcases traditional covered bridge craftsmanship from the mid-19th century, featuring the classic queen post truss design favored for shorter spans.

Current Status: Open to traffic—drive through carefully and yield to oncoming vehicles.

Visiting Tips: The bridge is most photogenic during fall foliage season when surrounding trees provide a colorful backdrop. Early morning light offers soft illumination for photography. Park safely off the roadway and watch for traffic when walking around the structure. The weathered wood siding and portal framing create excellent compositional opportunities from both exterior and interior angles.
