Covered Bridge Tour

What’s that old song lyric? «The best things in life are free». It may not have been quite free, but for the price of a tank of gas we were able to spend a lovely fall day with our closest friends taking the covered bridge tour in beautiful and historic Bucks County PA. And that seemed among the «best things» to us. So we wanted to post a heads up to others via Unilocal about this tour for others who might enjoy it.
There are but twelve covered bridges remaining of the original three dozen originally built in Buck’s’ County Pennsylvania. Thanks to the hard work of some dedicated folks, the twelve that remain are maintained for all of us to enjoy. This driving (or biking) tour will take you to all of them — or some if you prefer not to do the entire tour.
For our two bits, this is a great way to spend a day, including a stop at Bowman’s Hill Tower to take in the views and the history of that site (it’s on the tour path so you’re missing out if you don’t stop here) and Bowman’ Wildlife Preserve. In particular on a beautiful fall day as we did last week. (Both the Tower and Preserve are in New Hope.)
The Wildlife Preserve has a picnic area outside the gates so taking along a picnic lunch is a great idea. And inside the gates, there are bathrooms at the visitor center… hooray.
See the website posted at the of the page for more info on each of the bridges and the driving map. Another good bridge tor website is located here.
