Maxwell Crossing Covered Bridge

Flume Ridge Covered Bridge
Magaguadavic River #7, built in 1905 is 18.3 metres long. This bridge is very easy to get to even though it is in a very remote area. It is down in a little valley and the river is an incredible view.
Benton Covered Bridge
Eel River #3 from 1927 is 31.9 metres long. This bridge has a park next to it and the Eel River at this bridge is simply amazing. Not too far off the Trans-Canada, it is in a beautiful community undisturbed by the modern fast-paced way of life.
Hartland Covered Bridge
Hartland Covered Bridge, the longest covered bridge in the world at 391 metres long. It was built in 1901 but not covered until 1921. Which as in most bridges that I have seen so far are a wooden truss bridge and then look to have an attached independent shell to protect from weather or rot….
Florenceville Covered Bridge
Florenceville Bridge, built at 16.9 metres long in 1907 is a partial cover bridge span. It is the cutest covered bridge crossing the Saint John River. It sits on a well-developed waterfront boardwalk that even trumps the water access in the bigger downstream cities of Fredericton and Saint John. Being located across the street from…
Ellis Covered Bridge
North Becaguimec River #4 was built in 1909 and is 18.3 metres long. This bridge is on a bit of a side road that is good until the bridge. The river at this point looks like an amazing fishing spot. This one is very easy to get to and very close to Hartland and Florenceville…
Nackawic Siding Covered Bridge
This bridge is the Nackawic River #5 bridge from 1927 and 18.3 metres long. This is one of the more remote bridges and the road to get to it is eroded about 1km from the bridge but was passible with guidance and rocks placed over the ditch from the North Side. Accessing this bridge from…
Budd Bridge
This is the Cocagne River #5 Bridge. Built in 1913 it is 25.3 metres long. This bridge you must approach from the south. The north route is faster from the main road but as you turn on to this screen you are on the top of the ridge and get to see the most breathtaking…
Poirier Covered Bridge
Cocagne River #3 Bridge built in 1942 is 41 metres long. This bridge is near Moncton and is semi-remote to get to. The road to it is not the greatest and I stopped a short walk away and walked to the bridge. It is a calm and quiet area and the Cocagne River is cute…
Joshua Gallant Covered Bridge
This 1935 Shediac River #4 Bridge is the 1st of my non-accessible bridge. It is on the NB Trails system just a short walk from the road. It is in a little valley that has an amazing little river passing through. This is a 25.6m long bridge.
Boudreau Covered Bridge
This is Memramcook River #4 bridge dating back to 1930. This bridge is 22.6m long. This one is not too far off the Trans-Canada highway and is really interesting and picturesque around the area.
Wheaton Covered Bridge
Tantramar River #2 bridge is the furthest east covered bridge in New Brunswick. Built in 1916, this bridge is 49.7 metres long. This bridge can be seen for a long distance as it is the only structure in a far distance in every direction on the marsh and farmland in this part of the province.
Dumbarton Covered Bridge
Officially the Digdeguash River #6, this 1928 bridge is located in thein a very remote area. It is 23.2 metres long. At sunset the view was amazing, even took away from being eaten alive by mosquitos.
The banged up emotions, banged up car, and big boom finale
As we left off the quest, I was on the back roads of southern Ontario, with the Spotify music pumped. I was taking the back roads partly because it was taking everything to keep myself together, and partly because the 410, 407, and 401 scare the hell out of me. It was at this point,…
Drywall Flying Off a Trailer is Still a Sign
Planning for this trip started months ago, it was planned as the best available excuse to visit Brampton Civic Hospital to determine what was real and what was not. I had already sacrificed a day from this mini-vacation for my day visiting the Anthem of the Seas and had Friday to Tuesday for a road…
Hatfield Point
Today I went on a drive and took some photos.
My Messed Up Canada Day Roadtrip
I was off the Friday before Canada Day and had Physio and a call for the pre-op to fix my pinky finger. I came up with a plan to take a spontaneous road trip to Ottawa. My surgery is concerning the possible side effects. I was pretty devastated after the call with my anxiety. Since…
