Beautiful stop to see the bridge along the Kancamagus highway. There is very nice trail along the river and the fall foliages are so pretty!

Such a beautiful place. Make sure to drive over the bridge and do the loop.

The Albany Covered Bridge is a picturesque highlight of the Kancamagus Highway. Built in 1858 in the classic Paddleford truss style—with added arches—this 120‑foot span gracefully crosses the Swift River. Its weathered timber, steel-reinforced floor, granite abutments, and interpretive panels lend both charm and insight. The well-maintained parking area, restroom, and walking paths make it accessible for photos, fishing, or simply soaking in the White Mountains skyline. A must-see blend of history and natural beauty.

Stunning views of the Swift River in the mountains (especially during foliage) and great photo ops of an historic covered bridge.

I love a covered bridge and this one did not disappoint. We pretty much had the whole Kanc to ourselves yesterday so definitely enjoyed the stop with no other humans. We were happy to see little graffiti on the bridge and appears to be maintained well. We played around along the edge of the river looking at ice forming and bugs in the water. Beautiful views and definitely worth a quick stop!

The Albany Covered Bridge was first constructed in 1858. Repairs and restorations over the years have kept the bridge in the usable condition. The site has a large parking lot that will accommodate buses and restrooms are available. There are several interpretive panels on both sides of the bridge and a granite fishing pier on the north side. It was a foggy day when we were there on our motorcycles, but people were swimming and fishing - looked lovely. Nice to walk around and explore.
