Nearest town, county, and
state: Arlington, Vermont in Bennington County
The West Arlington covered
bridge is one of several covered bridges that crosses the Batten Kill as it
winds its way from Vermont into New York before meeting up with the
Hudson. Bring a picnic and your bathing suit, as this is a popular local
swimming hole. There are picnic tables on the green, with some large maple
trees for shade.
Directions: From VT Route
7a, take Route 313 app. 3 miles west to the West Arlington covered bridge.
Cross the Batten Kill on the bridge and park near the green. From New
York, take Route 313 east from NY Route 22 in Cambridge. West Arlington is
app. 2 miles from the state border.
Clues:
The river runs along the green,
such a pretty sight be seen.
Toward New York you wish to go,
in the direction of water flow.
To where the corn and green do
meet, and river, too, oh so neat.
A path you see to river flow, a
downed tree past do not go.
A farmer's stone pile tells
you're near, at the maple's SW, a box so dear.
Under field and river stones it hides, be sure you stamp
on both sides!
