Bedford County is blessed with 14 covered bridges. Few places have covered bridges set in more picturesque settings and with more variety than in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Built approximately 100 years ago by craftsmen who worked almost entirely by hand, these structures withstand the rain, snow and hard use of the traveling public. 

The county's bridges range in length from the 136 foot Herline Bridge near Manns Choice, PA to the 56 foot Palo Alto bridge south of Hyndman. Twelve spans are Burr-truss bridges, named after their designer, Theodore Burr. These bridges are held in place by a set of trusses that interact with the arch that spans the length of the bridges, creating added strength. A lot of people ask, "Why did they cover the bridges?". One answer is that wooden bridges with exposed superstructures can rot ... covering and roofing them protects them from the weather so they'll last longer. 

Be shure to check out our covered bridge page for more informaton and a driving tour HERE!

By trekking through our game lands and state forests, you'll find a lot of "critters." However, the sites listed below have animals in more contained settings. Many of these sites are part of our "Bison, Fish, Fawn and Fowl" tour.

There is a small museum at the Fish Hatchery, including wildlife species from Pennsylvania. Various fish species, birds, reptiles and mammals are on display. This is a working fish hatchery (this station raises over 350,000 trout for release per year) and the trout tanks also hold live trout in various stages of development. Kids love it ... and rarely do they ever fall into the trout pools. (The pools aren't treacherous or anything, but it is possible to do). So, if you have a young little daredevil who likes to show off his/her "balancing" skills, do hold onto their hand when walking through the trout pools. Organized tours for large groups can be arranged by calling.
