Pennsylvania Off The Beaten Path: 56 reviews and 115 photos

 
 

The Twin Bridges are the only twin covered bridges in the United States. Called the East Paden Bridge and the West Paden Bridge, they were constructed in 1884 by W.C. Pennington for $720.00, and were named after John Paden, who operated a nearby sawmill. The East Paden Bridge is 79 feet (24 meters) long and the West Paden Bridge is 103 feet (31 meters) long.

The Twin Bridges County Park was established in 1963 when a new road bypassed the bridges.

The Twin Bridges are located on Huntington Creek in Fishing Creek Township, just east of Forks, Pennsylvania.
