The historic Beaverkill Covered Bridge is one of just a few covered bridges remaining from the more than 300 that once linked New York State communities. Constructed in 1865 as an early step in settling a remote part of the Catskills, it uses an ingenious Town lattice truss structure that allows it to span nearly 100 feet. Its roof and siding protect the wooden structure from moisture, a strategy that has helped authentic covered wooden bridges in New York endure for more than 100 years. Listed on the New York State and National Registers of Historic Places in 2007, it remains a functioning landmark integral to the identity of Beaverkill Campground, one of the state's oldest campgrounds. Its 2017 restoration was completed with support from the Friends of Beaverkill Community, the Open Space Institute, regional preservation organizations, and state agencies using a combination of federal and state funding.
