Rexleigh Covered Bridge

Such a wonderful bridge. Clearly not the original bridge but so nice to take a spine back in time. Lots of fun adventures to be had around this as well. Check it out!

The bridge is a one lane wooden bridge which is really cool. You can also park around the bridge and go swimming or tubing in the river. The water is kind of muddy if it rains and has random deep spots. It is fun to hang out on a hot summer day.

Beautiful historic place...

Rexleigh Bridge is a wooden covered bridge over the Batten Kill in Washington County, New York. It is one of 29 historic covered bridges in New York State . Town and Howe truss designs were patented by Ithiel Town in 1820 and William Howe (architect) in 1840, respectively. The Rexleigh Covered Bridge is one of four covered bridges still standing in Washington County. It is owned and maintained by the county and carries traffic across the Batten Kill. Of the other three bridges, one other is owned by Washington County, one is owned by Rensselaer and Washington Counties, and one − the Shushan Covered Bridge − is owned by the Town of Shushan. what i found really cool was the fire alarm that was next to the bridge. thats one thing i never have seen before.

Fascinating well-built bridge!
