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.

The Batchellerville Bridge
The Batchellerville Bridge was originally constructed in 1930 when the Hudson River Regulation District built the Conklingville Dam and the area was flooded to form the Great Sacandaga Lake. The bridge has faced several stages of reconstruction and repairs over the years, but remains a beautiful land mark for the area. The Batchellerville Bridge has created many wonderful post cards.
