The Saco River Covered Bridge had been well maintained and it looks like they’re currently improving the support beams. Only one vehicle can pass through at a time, so make sure to snap your pictures quickly. This would be a difficult area to live or commute if I had to pass over this bridge every day.
Beautifully restored and preserved two-span covered bridge with wooden arches and trusses. Easily accessible from downtown Conway and offers great views of the river and surrounding area. Nearby beach and fishing spots also offer great views of the bridge from the water. The nearby Route 16 haunched plate girder bridge can be seen from the covered bridge during daylight hours, and great views of the covered bridge can be had from the Route 16 Bridge. These things being said, the police really need to step up speed enforcement at this location. The number of people blatantly violating the 15 MPH speed limit is too many to count, and some people even go so fast that the bridge literally shakes as they drive across!
If you love covered bridges, youll love this one! Great place to park, walk across about and take pictures!
It was beautiful! We had no idea that this was where the swift and saco rivers met.
The covered bridge was in great shape and right in town. Had a stream flowing under it, which added to its beauty.
Covered Bridge # 48, we visited this one a couple Octobers ago right after a heavy downpour that raised that water level and kept us wet and cold during the day. Still well worth the time to visit and snap our pictures and memories. Would love to trout fish this area. Oh, well, we had to push on. Maybe next time.
Beautiful location on Saco river. Easy tube or canoe Put in or take out
Nice bridge but busy during tourist season. Its only one lane wide too!
Just really like covered bridges.
Good spot to chill in the shallows, great spot for kids.
Great place to commit to our new life together!!
My wife always wanted to see a covered bridge. So, this year, I made it a plan to come up to see one. We live in Texas and this was one of the major three things she wanted to see in New England. Awesome bridge, beautiful scenery!

Great historical wooden bridge in Conway, NH. See the following: Historical Remarks:In 1850, Jacob Berry and Peter Paddleford built a covered bridge to replace a crudely framed log bridge that had collapsed at this site. The 1850 bridge stood until the Swift River covered bridge crashed into it in 1869. The Saco River covered bridge was rebuilt by Allen and Warren of Conway but it was destroyed again by a tannery fire in 1890. The current bridge was built by Charles Broughton and his son Frank.
Well cared for bridge over the Saco river. One lane traffic, so it can cause backups if its busy, beware if youre in a hurry.
Beautiful views. Classic New England.
Floated right under the bridge on the river
Caught my first rainbow trout
Beautiful scenery. Next to Davis park.
