Spanning Davidson Township in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania, the Sonestown Covered Bridge has served travelers since 1850. This historic structure features a Burr arch truss design—a combination of kingpost trusses reinforced by wooden arches that provided exceptional strength for 19th-century engineering.
The bridge remains open to traffic today, allowing visitors to experience crossing an authentic covered bridge. Its weathered wooden siding and portal openings make excellent photography subjects.
Visiting Tips: Arrive during golden hour for the best lighting through the bridge’s interior. Park safely off the roadway and watch for passing vehicles when photographing. Fall foliage season offers particularly scenic backdrops. The bridge pairs well with exploring Sullivan County’s rural countryside and nearby state gamelands.
