Twin Bridges

The Three Bridges loop offers a delightful touring cycling experience through the heart of rural Pennsylvania, where you'll pedal past working farmlands and quiet forests. The route's charm is undeniable, especially as you cross the historic Rupert Covered Bridge and the Twin Bridges, both iconic structures spanning the scenic Fishing Creek. It's a journey that feels like stepping back in time, offering picturesque views around every bend.

This moderate 30.0-mile (48.4 km) ride, with its 1182 feet (360 metres) of elevation gain, typically takes around 2 hours and 56 minutes to complete. You can easily park in Bloomsburg, often near the town center, as no permits or fees are needed. Spring, summer, and particularly the vibrant fall season are ideal for this route, though winter cycling is best avoided due to weather conditions.

Beyond the bridges, the route follows the historic Fishing Creek, a waterway with a rich past that eventually joins the Susquehanna River. The paved roads and rolling hills provide a good workout for cyclists with some experience, making it a rewarding option for those seeking a blend of natural beauty and local history in the Bloomsburg area.
