10 Bridges in New Hampshire That You Shouldn't Miss
If you are looking for diversity, you will certainly find it in New Hampshire. From lakes to beaches, waterfalls to woods and mountains to sea coast, the state has huge potential for outdoor vacations, including downhill or cross-country skiing in winter. With no less than seventy-five state parks that offer natural areas, hiking trails, beaches and historic sites, New Hampshire caters for a variety of tastes. Crawford Notch State Park in Harts Location has picturesque waterfalls, wonderful mountain views and opportunities for viewing wildlife. You can go hiking and fishing there as well as pay a visit to the historic Willey House. Monadnock State Park, unlike some other state parks, is open all year round for hiking. Want to go swimming? You will find five state park beaches along the coast of New Hampshire, such as Wallis Sands with its view of the rocky Isles of Shoals. On North Hampton State Beach and Jenness Beach you can have a picnic as well as a swim. When you've finally had your fill of fresh air, head for the Museum of New Hampshire History in Concord with exhibits focusing on heritage and traditions; children should enjoy them just as much as adults.

One of many covered bridges in NH. This bridge was easy to find. A nearby church and a picnic area nearby. Walkways on both sides of the bridge. There is an area to pull over so you can explore the sights of this bridge.

The longest covered bridge in the United States.

My wife, Golden Retriever, and I were talking a scenic drive along Rt12A from Surry, NH, just north of Keene, along the Eastern Connecticut River Valley to Cornish, NH. A few individual trees were already starting to turn color. Even on a Saturday afternoon, there was very little traffic on this beautiful Byway. I highly recommend this route. As we passed by the bridge, the view was like a picture postcard: very long covered bridge, beautiful Connecticut River, and lovely rolling, surrounding hills. I believe that this covered bridge is the longest that I had ever seen. Many people had pulled off the road to take photos. Outstanding!

This was a great stop along our route. It is the longest covered bridge in New Hampshire and worth the stop for the historical aspect of it. You can also drive across this bridge, which is rare for this Ohioan.

A cute covered bridge, in need of a paint job, which oddly enough, gives it the old timey feel. Walking only. Closed to car traffic. A train engine/caboose nearby that you’re able to climb upon. A bench nearby the water allows you to take in the scenery

Fun walk across the river - perfect for photos north and south or a romantic kiss beneath the rafters.

The original Slate Covered Bridge dates to 1862 and was named after a local family. Unfortunately, this magnificent bridge measuring 122 feet long was destroyed by arson in 1993. The present bridge was rebuilt in 2001. Kudos to the locals for rebuilding and preserving the history of Swanzy, NH. This bridge is only one of six covered bridges that cross the Ashuelot River and lie within a few miles of each other. Friends and I made a point of visiting the bridges while staying in New Hampshire a few weeks ago. Bridges are beautiful - all! Enjoy.
