The Flume Covered Bridge is located just after the start of the Flume Gorge Loop. It is actually just before you get to the gorge itself.
You can first see the bride from above before you start to switch back down the trail. Once there you can see that this bridge looks almost new and well cared for.
The bride was first built in 1871 with a Paddleford truss and spans 50 feet in length. There is a foot path on the bridge for hikers to cross. The bridge itself is used to bring tourists and maintenance works into the Flume Gorge, a very popular tourist area in Franconia Notch.
