Pennsylvania Dutch Country Covered Bridges

You can find dozens of covered bridges in Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Most of these are still in use. There are a few that are on private land and charge an admission or are part of the grounds. They are picturesque to say the least. If you want to see some of the bridges, it is a good idea to plan ahead. Many of the them are well off the main roads.

Parking to take pictures can be a little challenging in spots because of the narrow roads.

The Lancaster County Website has excellent information on the Lancaster County Covered bridges and has some covered bridge driving or bicycling tours laid out. The tours are generally between 30 to 60 miles long. Make sure you have a full tank of gas before starting out since much of the country is very rural.
