This weekend Shadow, Wilma, my Friend, and I Adventured to the Quechee Covered Bridge in Quechee, Vermont. The Quechee Covered Bridge was originally built in 1970 and spans the Ottauquechee River. It has views of an old mill dam, gorge, and contains a pedestrian walk across.
We had a scenic Adventure to the Quechee Covered Bridge. Shadow, Buster, and I had been to the bridge on one occasion, and I was glad to be back. We were thrilled to have one of our friends visiting from Tampa, and could not have chosen a better covered bridge to represent these wonderful structures. We parked and took some posed photographs on the gorge side before crossing the front of the bridge to the waterfall. The waterfall was gigantic, and just spectacular, the sunset framing the background of the falls. We sauntered down to the Quechee Falls Park, a cemented, landscaped area with benches to relax and take-in the view. We spent some time photographing and just gazed at the spectacular scene, the falls singing from all directions, and the bridge towering from above. Such beauty!
From there we wandered back up the stairs and headed to the bridge to see the view from atop the bridge. The bridge was lined with colorful flower boxes, and provided continued lovely views. After peering out at the panorama, we strolled all the way across, and found an additional viewing spot. Another perfect scene from a new angle.
I have written about this bridge previously in a blog about Quechee, but decided to discuss the bridge in depth today. We were so glad to Adventure to the Quechee Covered Bridge, definitely a must-see new England bridge. I have included photographs, and videos from our visit today, and two photographs of our first visit. A little dark on this New England evening, but hopefully you can still imagine this picturesque location (Rating: 5).
Looks like a wonderful visit! Glad you got to share it with Ronda.

My husband and I go to Quechee several times a year. It’s one of our favorite places.

We gravitate to the Gorge and down the path to what used to be a swimming hole when my husband lived in White River in the 1970s.
