Buskirks Covered Bridge

Great vantages from both sides, up and down the Battenkill.

Love it, never saw one before, wish there wasnt someone living under it. But I really liked it

Beautiful piece of history.

The 1850 Architectural style: Howe truss, Buskirk Bridge is a wooden covered bridge and is the name of the hamlet in which it is located. It is in the town of Hoosick. The bridge, which crosses the Hoosic River is one of 29 historic covered bridges in New York State. The bridge takes its name from the nearby hamlet of the same name, which was named after the local Van Buskirk family. The Buskirk Covered Bridge is the only inter-county covered bridge in New York State, joining Rensselaer and Washington Counties. It is one of four covered bridges still standing in Washington County. It is owned and maintained by both Rensselaer and Washington Counties and carries traffic across the Hoosic River.

Scenic fishing and swimming hole with a classic covered bridge.
