Spanning Fishing Creek in Stillwater, Pennsylvania, this historic covered bridge dates to 1849, making it one of the oldest surviving covered bridges in Columbia County. Built using the distinctive Burr arch truss design—a combination of kingpost trusses reinforced by wooden arches—the structure showcases 19th-century American bridge engineering at its finest.
Current Status: Open to traffic (single-lane with weight restrictions).
Visiting Tips: The bridge sits along a scenic rural road, offering excellent photo opportunities from the creek banks below. Visit during fall foliage for stunning contrast against the weathered red siding. Early morning light provides the best conditions for interior shots capturing the timber framework. Parking is limited; pull well off the roadway.
