About
The Hartland Covered Bridge crosses the Saint John River at Hartland, a small community in the United States, Vermont area named in the record. It is known locally and beyond as the World's Longest Covered Bridge, a title that reflects its length of 391 meters.
What to expect
Built in 1901, the bridge has been designated a National Historic Site, and it still serves as an active transportation link, so you will share the crossing with vehicles and people going about their day. Walking through the enclosed wooden span gives a clear sense of its scale, and the river views from its length are part of the visit.
