The 1870 Rock Covered Bridge in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. This single-span, 56-foot Burr arch-truss bridge was built over Lower Little Swatara Creek. Its builder is unknown.

Rock Covered Bridge was completely restored in 2014-2015 and is in very good condition. It is located next to a small parking area and a handicap-accessible fishing platform.

The original stone abutments of the bridge have been strengthened with concrete, and steel I-beam supports have been placed next to the abutments to add extra support to the structure. Inside, a steel guardrail protects the truss system from traffic. The bridge is currently being used for access to a local park and fishing area.

Span length: 56 ft.
Total length: 56 ft.
Vertical clearance above deck: 10.5 ft.
