Lumberville – Raven Rock Bridge, Suspension footbridge between Lumberville, Pennsylvania and Raven Rock, New Jersey.
The Lumberville-Raven Rock Bridge is a pedestrian suspension footbridge crossing the Delaware River between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It is made up of five sections carried by steel cables, resting on stone foundations that date back to the 19th century.
A covered timber bridge was built at this crossing in 1856 to connect the two river banks. It was replaced in 1947 by the current steel footbridge, though the original stone foundations were kept in place.
The bridge serves as a walking connection between two river communities, regularly used by locals and visitors exploring the Delaware River valley on foot. It has become a gathering point for people seeking to experience the shared landscape between two states.
The bridge can be reached from both the Pennsylvania and New Jersey sides without major obstacles. Visiting during daylight hours makes it easier to take in the views of the river and the wooded banks on either side.
The footbridge was designed by engineers from John A. Roebling's Sons Company, the same firm behind the Brooklyn Bridge. When crossing, you can clearly see where the 19th-century stone foundations meet the steel structure built nearly a century later.
