Made my husband stop so that I could take pictures of this beautiful bridge. I learned later that people say it is hunted and the history behind the bridge. If you stay at the Lodge @ Gettysburg you will go past this bridge from town.

We can upon this bridge quite by accident the other day on our way to Gettysburg. I didn't know that there were many covered bridges outside of Vermont. Took lots of photos.

We went to Sachs Bridge with our guide Miss Betty. It is quite beautiful but there was a group of teenagers huddled in the center loudly discussing some "inappropriate" topics as my children shared. As a result, we did not stay long. I think if they would not have been there it would have been a completely different, much better... More

I always go to Sachs bridge every time I visit Gettysburg. I enjoy the peaceful beauty of the bridge and the area around it. Make sure you take a walk down stream to enjoy the sights and sounds of the area. It's worth the extra walk. Also enjoyed doing a little ghost hunting at night in the bridge. Got some... More

Such a pretty little bridge. This would be a great spot for a family picnic, or a walk through the woods. When we were there it was cold and misty, so we didn't stay long, but would have loved to return with nicer weather. As it was, we got some nice photos here. This would also be a nice portrait...

It is a wonderful place to enjoy nature, untill the spook hunters show up. The day time is the best, less people. Do not let any one tell you that you can only get to Sachs Bridge with their spook tour... not true

Nice covered bridge. It was a quiet place, not much else to do but look at it, walk across it, and then leave.

Every visit to Gettysburg we stop at Sach's Covered Bridge. It's tucked away and there is not any markers to make it easy to find but it is well worth a visit.

The bridge is a beautiful addition to your tour of Gettysburg. There should be a marker out at the main road directing you to the bridge, but ask any locals and they will be most helpful in finding the bridge for you.
