Built in 1865 over the Beaver Kill north of Roscoe, Beaverkill Bridge carried Conklin Road into a remote upper valley just beginning to develop around a local tannery and the small hamlet of Beaverkill. The wooden covered bridge is a rare New York example of a hemlock lattice truss with unusual end diagonals, and it survives as Sullivan County’s only covered bridge listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Though its builder is uncertain, the span outlasted the fading tanning settlement, later serving an area known for trout fishing and camping. Local opposition prevented its replacement in 1948, and continued repairs have preserved it as both a working crossing and historic landmark.
