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

We were driving along Route 16 and were pleasantly surprised to find this covered bridge that is still in service.

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.

Very picturesque. And by the old Waterloo train station. To the right is a very pleasant path through the woods and along the river bank
