Wanich Covered Bridge No. 69

Fernville, Pennsylvania

Built in 1884, the Wanich Covered Bridge spans the waterway near Fernville using a classic Burr truss-arch design—a popular 19th-century construction method combining wooden trusses with supporting arches for enhanced strength and durability.

This historic structure remains open to traffic, allowing visitors to experience crossing an authentic covered bridge firsthand. The weathered wood siding and interior timber framing showcase traditional Pennsylvania craftsmanship.

Visiting Tips: Early morning offers soft lighting ideal for photography, with fewer vehicles crossing. Park safely off-road and capture shots from the creek bank for the best exterior angles. Fall foliage provides a stunning backdrop. Check local conditions before visiting, as rural roads may be unpaved.
