To see one of the sweetest little bridges in the state head to rural southern Langdon.

The 36-foot Prentiss Bridge is the shortest 19th-century covered bridge located on a public roadway in New Hampshire.

Spanning the Great Brook, the bridge sits surrounded by nature making it a lovely little structure to photograph.

Bridges are believed to have stood in this spot as early as 1791.

It's unclear what became of the other structures, but eventually they gave way to the Prentiss Bridge which carried the Chester Turnpike.

Today the bridge is closed to vehicular traffic, but it's perfect for foot traffic!

Take a stroll across enjoying the view on either side.
