Bridge access was closed since July 10th for tree trimming! Nothing mentioned anywhere on provincial sites. Drove a long way (from Ottawa) not to be able to see anything.
I visited this place about 5 years ago, I was able to walk down to river. This time there is no access to river, it's all private property. That was beauty of it. I didn't like my experience this time. Land beside Rivers, lakes, beaches shouldn't be sold to private developers. Public should have access to it. I was very disappointed
It was interesting, I didn't know there was an old covered bridge that close to home. It doesn't take long to check out the bridge but there are some nice motorcycle roads in the area that made the trip worth while.
Cute little bridge in a very residential area. Private property in the area is *very well marked. There is a small parking lot just down the road - not suitable for anything larger than passenger vehicles. Worth a quick stop-in if you're in the area - iconic for movie buffs.
It is a beautiful historic bridge. It is located in a small village with little parking. We walked through the bridge and along the river road trying to get a good view and photo. All the beautiful park like area along the river is private property. It's residential and not at all set up to accommodate tourists hence the 3 stars. I wouldn't suggest this as a day trip destination. If you're visiting St. Jacob's it's worth the short drive and quick visit.
Beautiful little covered bridge and piece of local history. Park on the west side of the bridge about 2min walk down the road. Don't be discouraged by disgruntled home owners, we use this spot to launch our canoe all the time, the property lines are publicly available for download if you are unsure!
It is exactly what it says. A lovely old covered bridge. We loved the whole little area it was in. What would have made it even nicer if you could actually step by the river to get pictures of the bridge. The whole area along the river was roped off as private property. It made getting shots of the bridge damn near impossible. That was pretty disappointing.
A great picture setting for a summer drive which can be enhanced if access could be provided to the river. (The river side is private land and cordoned off) Wish the landowners decide to share the place.
