The Copeland Covered Bridge
The Copeland Covered Bridge is viewed as one of the Great Sacandaga Lake's most prized historical sites. In 1879 Arad Copeland (1805-1884) decided to build the covered bridge that still stands today. According to family legend local residents Melzor Manning laid the stones, Jacob Latcher hewed the timbers and Azariah Ellithorpe Jr. framed the bridge. The bridge can be found just off North Shore Rd, on the right hand side, about a 1/2 mile down from the four corners in Edinburg.
