Covered Bridge Driving Tour in Bucks County

This self-guided driving tour of Bucks County’s 12 remaining covered bridges is split up into two halves. The first takes about two hours to complete, while the second takes about an hour and a half. Drive by them one at a time, or make a day out of it and complete the whole tour! The tour makes a large circle through Bucks County and is planned so the traveler can start at any one of the bridges.

Don’t forget to stop inside Bucks County’s historic towns & main streets for lunch or a coffee break.

Download the below Covered Bridge Map here! And download Bucks County’s Covered Bridge Society’s new mobile app that provides self-guided tours to all 12 wooden structures. 

NOTE: The majority of the bridges do not have areas to pull off and take photographs. For the most picturesque spots, head to Perkasie and Tyler State Park’s covered bridges!

The Tinicum Conservancy was formed in 1992 by a group of
conservation-minded residents who were concerned that larger, regional
land trusts weren’t paying enough attention to land protection in our
township. Within eight years, we had conserved a thousand acres. By
2004, another thousand acres were added, and yet another thousand by
2007. Today, 5,133 acres in and around Tinicum are protected… and
counting!
