Bull’s Bridge

My boyfriend brought me here, as this used to be one of his favorite places to whitewater kayak. Although the actual bridge was disappointing (it’s just a covered bridge with some graffiti on it), there were so many amazing places to view the rapids below, and it features a section of the Appalachian Trail that was a fun challenge to hike. The rapids are easily accessible by walking past the bridge and taking a couple of small paths both left and right of the dirt road. From there, you can rock-​hop and walk right up to the rapids if you so wish (or if you’re crazy like my boyfriend, you can whitewater kayak!).
As mentioned, you can also easily access the Appalachian Trail near the bridge, and I highly recommend it. The beginning of the trail running along the river is fairly easy (and packed with families); the part past the Anderson Memorial Bridge is a little harder; and the part going up Ten Mile Hill had me wishing I had spent a few more hours on the Stairmaster. At one point, I was so out of breath after steeply ascending for half an hour that I decided to call it a day. Maybe someday when I’m feeling up to it I’ll go back and try it again. Just past the Anderson Memorial Bridge, there’s an outhouse and a shelter for AT hikers. Really cool to see!
We went in early October, and there were a fair amount of people there. Parking is free but is also a bit tight in the lot right by the entrance; if you drive further in (past Bull’s Bridge), there should be more parking spots.

I was pretty shocked to see that Bulls Bridge was missing from Unilocal check in places so I decided to add it to the local flavor as it is not to be missed! In fact if you are traveling to Kent CT from NY it is hard not to miss it. It is a beautiful covered bridge and well worthy of a photo op no matter what the season.
This is a little bit more about it.
I just wanted to add it so that one could do a check in and others who might not know about it will. Uh oh. Hope I do not get in trouble… ;)))
Really? Can you guess??? ;)))
