WE ARE COVERED BRIDGE COUNTRY
Our covered bridges are a sight to be seen! If the gleaming patina on the well-weathered wood doesn’t curl your toes, the stone bluff supports and cold clean water that travels underneath will. The Town of Rockland boasts not one, not two, but three covered bridges. Two — the Mott/Vantran/ Livingston Manor Bridge (1860) and the Bendo/Covered Bridge Campsite bridge (1860) — span the Willowemoc Creek. The other — the Beaverkill Covered Bridge (1865) and lovingly restored in 2017, pictured above — crosses the Beaverkill above Roscoe. All of these were built by John Davidson, a gifted carpenter.
