Schoharie Bridge, Covered bridge in Schoharie County, New York.
Schoharie Bridge is a covered wooden bridge in Schoharie County, New York, that crosses Fox Creek. It has a lattice truss frame and red-painted exterior walls, features common to this style of bridge construction.
The bridge was built in 1982, using a design inspired by 19th-century covered bridges. It was constructed near a historic site to reflect older building traditions of the region.
The bridge sits next to the Old Stone Fort, an 18th-century building that now serves as a museum. Visitors crossing the wooden structure can see the stone walls of the fort just a short walk away, making the two feel closely connected.
The bridge can be reached from a parking area on Covered Bridge Lane or from Lily Park nearby. Both spots give easy foot access so you can walk around and view the structure from different sides.
The lattice truss of this bridge sits on top of the deck rather than supporting it from below, which is an unusual choice for this type of construction. This detail sets it apart from most older covered bridges found in the region.
