Green River Covered Bridge — Attraction in Guilford

This is an old place, in terms of history. I was 'spoiled', in that the Guilford School was the second school I was able to attend and they would do field trips 'into' town, this was one of those places. One of my treasured memories is fishing with Tony Barrand (RIP, Mr. & Mrs. Barrand). I plan to bring a Buddy of mine to see the dam/waterfall, as I did forget this was 'in my backyard', so to speak, and they LOVE water.

We went on a Saturday with passing showers and only saw a group or two of others. Would definitely come back with...

Pretty quiet area but more traffic than I would have expected due to the nature of it's location. The bridge is in really good condition . The dam before the bridge and the area around it is private property but is open to the public. Swimming is allowed so bring a swim...
