Florenceville Covered Bridge

One of New Brunswick’s most photogenic landmarks. The Florenceville Covered Bridge is a unique hybrid — combining a traditional wooden covered span with steel trusses, a design you won’t see elsewhere in the province.

Built in 1911, it spans the Saint John River and is designated as a Local Historic Place. The bridge now serves pedestrians and cyclists, offering scenic views upriver and downriver. On a clear day, the reflections in the water are stunning.

New Brunswick has more covered bridges than any other province in Canada, and this one — with its unusual mixed construction — is among the most distinctive. A must-stop for photographers and covered-bridge collectors.
