Things to do in Green Mountains, Green Mountains: The Best Bridges

July 12, 2021 Oliva Fomby

Vermont’s Green Mountains are the peaks that gave the 14th state its name. Still largely covered by the verdant forest, the area is a year-round destination, popular with both skiers and hikers. The Long Trail, a wilderness hiking trail, traverses the state, while drivers set a slower pace on Vermont’s scenic roads. Quaint towns, such as Stowe and Montgomery, acres of farmed valleys, apple orchards, covered bridges and specialty stores take visitors back in time, and charming inns await.

Bridge at the Green

Sometimes it's the simple things that catch your attention after you have slowed down on your trip. The covered bridge and white church with the fall colors is a perfect example. Only a few miles west of Arlington, it a must see.

Silk Road Covered Bridge

Disclaimer: no there was not an actual tour it was my own self driving through each of the bridges in Bennington Vermont. What is nice about the three bridges besides the beautiful landscape and preserved structures themselves is that they are conveniently located within five minutes of each other. If you are someone that would like to see covered bridges but do not want to go on a “hunt” for them this trio in Bennington is perfect.

Burt Henry Covered Bridge

Reviewed By JennyMarie82 - Harrisburg, United States

The Henry bridge is conveniently located near two other active use covered bridges that have been well preserved. As a Pennsylvanian who has explored several areas of covered bridges in my own state most of ours are in active and have been placed in the vicinity of where they were once in use. It is a treat to be able to visit a place that has these beautiful architectural creations and the settings where they are at live up to expectations of being picturesque. There is a place to pull your car over in order to take pictures, etc. I would still caution to watch for vehicles coming through. I am grateful to the state of Vermont for maintaining these historical structures so that many generations can experience them.

Chiselville Covered Bridge

Reviewed By Solutions123 - Austin, United States

People get confused between the Arlington covered bridge (bridge at the green) and this bridge. If you’re coming from the south, visit this bridge then head to the Arlington covered bridge. It’s about 8 minutes away.
