Bedell Bridge State Park, State park along Connecticut River in Haverhill, United States.
The 74-acre Bedell Bridge State Park stretches along the Connecticut River, offering spaces for outdoor activities and river access throughout the year.
Five different bridges connected New Hampshire to Vermont at this location between 1805 and 1979, with the final covered bridge measuring as the second longest nationwide.
The preservation efforts of local residents resulted in raising $250,000 for bridge reconstruction in 1978, demonstrating the community's dedication to historical structures.
The park includes a Fish and Game boat launch facility, providing access points for water activities while maintaining specific regulations for environmental protection.
Stone piers remain standing in the Connecticut River as physical markers of the former covered bridge that stood for over a century before wind destruction.

New Hampshire reveals a land where the White Mountains have shaped the skyline for millennia. Between northern coniferous forests and southeastern Atlantic coasts, this New England state features waterfalls cascading over granite, glacial passes carved 15,000 years ago, and industrial villages embedded in red stone. Archaeological sites, lighthouses guiding ships on Piscataqua, and estates where early 20th-century artists shaped American identity await discovery. Trails wind through gorges, along lakes reflecting peaks, and through forests where remnants of old foundries remain. Autumn light illuminates maple trees, winter turns ravines into ice amphitheaters, and spring causes waterfalls to roar. From Mount Monadnock to the Shoals Islands, New Hampshire offers a varied geography where each hill, waterfall, and stone bears witness to a deeply rooted natural and human story within the landscape of New England.
