One of the most significantly historically qualities of Columbia and Montour counties are the area’s twenty-five covered bridges, the third largest concentration in PA. Visitors from all over the world come to see the antiqued craftsmanship used to construct these spans. No two bridges are alike as workers incorporated the surrounding landscape into the construction of each bridge.
Columbia County is the home to only one of two sets of twin covered bridges in the country – the East and West Paden Bridges. Sadly, during the June 2006 Flood, the swollen Huntington Creek swept away the West Paden Covered Bridge.
Driving maps of all of the covered bridges of Columbia and Montour counties are available for those that would like to take a day meandering through the many covered bridges and rolling farmlands of the area.
