Covered Bridge - Moosehorn Creek

Moosehorn Creek cuts through the Albert formation, a Lower Carboniferous unit between Bloomfield and Sussex, New Brunswick. The covered bridge over Moosehorn Creek, built in 1915, was the first in the province to be restored as part of a recreation and picnic area. The original dirt road, visible in archived photos, has become a hiking trail through the Norton Geopark, one of the Stonehammer Geoparks in the province. A Howe truss bridge, it is 95 feet (29 m) long, and still has the original cedar shingles.
