Pine Hill, Ulster County

The Friendship Manor Covered Bridge, also known as the Pine Hill Covered Bridge, is located in the hamlet of Pine Hill in Ulster County, New York. The bridge was constructed in 1992. It is 72 feet long and 22 feet wide as it spans Birch Creek to serve as the entrance for the 28 acre Belleayre Mountain Pine Hill Lake Day Use Area. The one lane bridge is open for auto traffic but is only open with the day-use area. The bridge also includes a pedestrian walkway. The bridge was designed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The “Friendship Manor” names comes from a former resort that was located near the day-use area but burned down in the 1970s.
