About this image
The covered bridge was one of the picturesque details that Pierce Stocking included in the Scenic Drive. Covered bridges, usually associated with New England and Pennsylvania, were developed to protect wooden bridges from rain and snow, which can cause rotting of the timbers. It was cheaper to repair the roof than to build a new bridge.
The sides of the original bridge were largely consumed by porcupines, which seem to relish man-made structures more than the native wood of the forest. The present bridge has a higher roof to provide a 13 foot, 6 inch vehicle clearance. This pull-off is intended to let you linger a moment to view the bridge or photograph it.

What my clients say
We choose a canvas print from our favorite place to relax- Door County. It’s simply gorgeous and reminds us of more relaxing time preCovid. The service and quality is excellent and would recommend Adam to anyone.
I came across Adam's work while searching for unique photos of the St. Lawrence River and found a great shot of the Baie-Comeau Bridge. My inquiries were met with a prompt and courteous response from Adam directly who accommodated my color and sizing requests. After an easy purchase, the photo was carefully shipped and arrived in one week. It was very easy and pleasant transaction.
I ordered the materials for my project here, and everything went smoothly. Very professional. Good prices and better materials. ✅👏🏼
