Hyde Hall Bridge, Covered bridge in Springfield, New York, US.
Hyde Hall Bridge spans Shadow Brook with a 53-foot-long single-span structure, featuring wooden clapboard exterior and a gabled roof finished with shingles.
Built in 1825 by master carpenter Cyrenus Clark, Andrew Alden, and stonemason Lorenzo Bates, this bridge represents the earliest documented covered bridge in the United States.
The bridge forms an integral part of the Glimmerglass State Park landscape, connecting visitors to the neo-Classical Hyde Hall mansion and regional transportation history.
Located 0.4 miles north of County Road 31, the bridge now serves as a pedestrian passage within Glimmerglass State Park, offering direct access to various hiking trails.
The structure employs the Burr Arch Truss design, patented in 1817, with distinctive elliptical headed openings framed by horizontal boarding at both entrances.
