I absolutely love this bridge and I wish I could still walk the trails! I dont know if they are even open but they should be, people need exercise and fresh air! Just go and see the bridge and soak in the beautiful site ! So close to the city yet so peaceful!!!

While a new bridge, one of the more impressive covered bridges Ive seen. Its the longest one in Ohio if Ive got my facts correct. This area has a large collection of bridges - worth a day or weekend journey covered bridge fans.

My granddaughter and I visit this place often. Its beautiful. I hope a certain individual sees this, cause he asked to see her arrowhead she found and he kept it. She didnt want to be rude, so she didnt ask for it back and she didnt tell me, that he kept it until he was long gone. It was a genuine arrowhead too. Its sad when a grown man would steal from a child. She was so excited when she found it. We have been back hoping to find another, but no luck.

How did I not know that the longest covered bridge in the United States was here in Ohio? It is just a short drive I-90. I would like to come back another time to explore the gorge and trails.

Really a beautiful bridge.... needs a few repairs..... the 2x4 repairs really detract from the bridges beauty. Needs the graffiti painted over, such a shame some one would do that in the first place.

Beautiful place to take friends or family for many different reasons. The walking trail is long and growing. Leading through most of the town with a well kept and very appealing visual experience. People fish, bird watch, picnic, run, walk, or just sit and take in the nature thats finally settling back in.

Wish they had made it look like the walking bridge below. Great stop though with a nice information kiosk park and extra parking below with large grassy area and walking path through aforementioned walking bridge. Great place for a picnic. Fair warning... its a local hangout for drug users and requires more patrols and enforcement... its not fun to come on kids that are gorked up and you are trying to enjoy your time there.

Very nice park. Just not to crazy about the black top on historical walking trails.. Its nice for everyone to be able and access it, but I feel it kind of hurt the historical value of native American trails to Pave over them with black top. All in all a great place.

This is a fairly new covered bridge, but is the longest. It is nice because their is a park underneath the bridge with trails and a mini walkway covered bridge. Very nice place to go.

Review №64

When we set out to visit this bridge on a beautiful, sunny, Autumn day we didnt realise that there was a park surrounding it. What a nice surprise that was! There are relatively flat, paved paths for leisurely hiking, plus picnic spots and plenty of room to walk along the Ashtabula River, which is pretty shallow in this area. Local families visit, plus people come from far and wide, because this bridge holds the renown of being the longest covered bridge in America. We met one fellow there to picnic with his family and to do some fishing. We both had our puppies too. If you want to get your heart going you can hike from the top Vista area near the bridge to the bottom and back or you can drive down.

A very nice park in a completely unexpected place. Why in the world did they leave the guardrail from the old road in the middle of the park?

Favorite place in Ashtabula to visit for scenic views and nice strolls through the woods in a nicely paved path. Great place to take pictures as well for many occasions or just the landscape itself! Has been a big favorite of mine since it was built. A must-see if you live or visit Ashtabula! And beautiful sunsets. Never get tired of coming here.
