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.

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

One of the top 10 covered bridges in NH called "the most cursed bridge", which is very near Exit 27 of I-93 in Town of Campton. "The first bridge at this location was built in 1829 at a cost of $1,000. That bridge was burned down by a man named Lem Parker who claimed that God told him to do it. Parker was taken to court and confessed to the charges. However, he was found not guilty because there were no witnesses. The construction of the current bridge was brought about when a doctor trying to ford the river on horseback found the current too strong. The horse drowned, but the doctor was saved. The town voted to build a bridge immediately. A sign was posted on the bridge indicating there was a fine of five dollars for riding or driving on the bridge faster than five miles per hour. It was rebuilt by Milton Graton and his son Arnold in 1977 at a cost of $59,379. The town of Campton and the state shared the cost of the repair. The Blair Bridge is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places." However, what the most fantastic is the view seen from under the bridge! After parking our car on a lot near the bridge, we took the path down to the river and was stunned by the view from the upper stream of the river! Oh, that's Mount Washington of the White Mountain. We could not even believe our eyes. The great and blue mountains are fantastic and one will surely miss the view if he/she just drives through the bridge without going down to the river. The Pemigewasset River was not deep at this season and the water is clear indeed. We stayed there for quite a while taking pictures, walking in the river, sitting on the rocks enjoying the view and imaging the views in autumn with gorgeous foliage around or in spring when the river full of melt snow with a distant view of the snow-capped White Mountains. Of course, we will visit it again when those seasons come and will have a cup of beer by the river in the Covered Bridge Farm Table when the pandemic is gone! And we also visited Campton town, only three miles away, a beautiful town which is worth visiting at any time of the year.

This bridge is on Valley Road which is off of Wild Ammonoosuc Road spanning the Ammonoosuc River. The bridge is single lane and unpainted. There are pull-offs for parking. It is NH bridge #29. Don't miss the waterfall next to the bridge.
