Fun Facts

Built in 1857, Humpback Bridge is the only arched covered bridge remaining in the state, making it a significant piece of Virginia's architectural history.

The bridge gets its name from its distinctive humpback shape, which was designed to allow water to flow underneath without damaging the structure.

Since 1929, the bridge has been preserved as a pedestrian walkway and historical site, allowing visitors to experience its charm up close.

Humpback Bridge Wayside Park offers picnic areas and walking trails, providing a serene setting for visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

The bridge's unique design and picturesque setting make it a favorite subject for both amateur and professional photographers.

Visitors often attach padlocks to the bridge's railings as a symbol of their love, a tradition that has grown in popularity over the years.
