Pool Forge Covered Bridge, Covered bridge in Caernarvon Township, United States.
The Pool Forge Covered Bridge extends 99 feet over the Conestoga River with wooden double Burr arch trusses and steel hanger rods for structural support.
Built in 1859 by Levi Fink and Elias McMellen for twelve hundred dollars, the bridge served as a storage barn before modifications enabled vehicle traffic.
The bridge stands within the 26-acre Historic Poole Forge site, which includes an Ironmaster's mansion and structures from early American industrial development.
While closed to vehicles, the bridge remains open for pedestrian visits throughout the year, with nearby parking and walking paths for easy access.
The Theodore Burr Society decorates the bridge annually with holiday wreaths and colored lights, enhancing its red exterior during seasonal celebrations.
