Nice hiking fishing picnicking we love this place the kids have a lot of fun here. Great place to explore the outdoors

Spanning the Salmon River in the state forest is the last remaining covered bridge in East Connecticut.Dating to 1840, it is one of only three crossings of its kind in the state and remains open to pedestrian traffic, although vehicles have been banned since the 1930s.A decade before then, a truck crashed through the floor, and the ensuing renovation was carried out as a Depression-era employment initiative by the Civilian Conservation Corps.The main bridge span is covered by a gabled roof, which has the benefit of protecting the timbers below from the weather, and slowing their ageing process.

It is a place full of history, and natural beauty.Nice historic covered bridge. Hiking. Very uncrowded. The Salmon river runs under the bridge, and is awesome to fish or wade.

Nice bridge, good spit to walk the dog or stop and have some lunch.

Wow, the history and the natural beauty of the surrounding area!

Nice little place of History. Not many bridges like this still around, even fewer that that are actually still bridges and not moved relics that no longer span a pass.There is ample parking for all seasons with far more on the northern side, only a few spots on the south side. The fishing appears to be pretty good in the Salmon River it spans s can be seen by the ample amount of fisherman in the water.

One of our favorite stops when out for a drive. A beautifully restored covered bridge that seems to take you back in time. Also has a little trail down to the river that I intend on visiting this summer. A perfect spot to Wade and read.

The covered bridge is attractive and has a trail nearby. Nice for picture taking in the fall.

Nice place for hiking.

Love this bridge in all seasons! Nice sound of rushing water. There is also good day hiking in the area.

I loved the history of it.Amazing to see something that old still standing and in good condition. The river is beautiful as well.

This bridge is amazing. It shoukd be a photographers go to spot. Gorgeous wood work to take killer pictures. Prom, wedding, or just anything the pictures will come out great.

Nice little spot for fishing or a picnic.

Beautiful covered bridge. I visit every time I hike the Salmon River trail. Always see fishermen in the river on my hikes.The trail connects to Day Pond Park. Moderate hike takes 3 hours or so if you do entire loop. Port o pots at Day Pond area year round so no need to act like aa bear in the woods!!Many cool features on the trail. Eagle scout side trail leads to lovely waterfall. sample parking at both Comstock bridge area & Day Pond. Plowed & accessible in winter months.

Beautiful covered bridge with a crystal clear stream running thru. Reminds me of New Hampshire

Beautiful bridge... great trail

Located on a blue blaze hiking trail, not far from the Airline Trail and crosses the Salmon Brook River with trout fishing. One stop shop for fun.

Is the best natural waking up the hill by the the river going to the end wheres beautiful waterfall

Very nice destination on the Farmington River, a small but beautiful part of the state !!!

Loved visiting this Historic site. Relaxing!

Great place for a hike.

Nice little piece of history, tucked away in a picturesque fishing spot. A perfect spot to unwind with a liquid refreshment after completing the Salmon River Trail.

Nice views of Salmon river

I love this place. So beautiful and just a fun little escape.

Amazing place for a bridge very historic

One of my favorite places to hike, fun, fun, fun. Some uphill, some waterfalls, good flats and well-marked trails. Get outside!

It was beautiful! It was over the Salmon river. Tree lined river with beautiful Fall colors and foliage. You can walk over the bridge.

Busy day at Comstock Bridge and yet peaceful.

Really nice walking path!

Great traditional covered bridge. Stop for a moment and enjoy New Englands magic

Good fishing and trails, people need to stop leaving their trash.

Nice place to hike and fish.

Worth a visit if you like covered bridges and are in the area.

Very pretty bridge, neat patterns throughout. Excellent CT blue blaze trail nearby.

Historical place. Bridge is heavy wood construction. Everyone need to see it!!

This is always a great place to stop. One of three covered bridges in ct. good spot for fishing as well.

Great place to take a break and walk around and explore.

Beautiful scenery

Great for throwing rocks

One of my favorite places on earth

Pretty, well kept bridge - one of only three left in CT. Worth checking out - venture out carefully into the water barefoot to get a better view. The Salmon River is shallow but very rocky.

Great hike

Such an awesome little gem. Took great pictures of my children. Very happy.

Many visitors love the many hiking trails, and the fishing. Beautiful scenery.

Great hike through the woods right off the bridge, take a sharp left going towards the river if you are coming from the parking lot, its a little hidden. If you hike along it for around 2.7. miles you will end up in day pond state park. 4 stars for a nice walk!

Beautiful water is fast and clean.lots of fish but hard to get to them because of fast water.

Relaxing site to picnic, watch the river

Ehh its ok

Site to see havent been there.

Beautiful place for a walk or picnic
