Built around 1870, Holmes Creek Covered Bridge spans over a quiet inlet near Lake Champlain. This 41-foot wooden bridge—one of the shortest and lowest in the state—features a rare king post truss with a tied arch. Once vital for local orchards and hay wagons, it now stands as a charming relic just steps from the lakeshore.

Built in 1849, Quinlan’s Covered Bridge spans Lewis Creek, with a classic Burr arch truss design and weathered wooden siding. Also known as the Lower or Sherman Covered Bridge, it once served local mills and farms and now stands as a quiet historic landmark. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it remains one of Vermont’s few surviving 19th-century covered bridges.
